Help me get the creative juices flowing!

You obviously know and have the juice to get deals done - what do you want day-to-day?  

While it is important to understand them in general, it is a very deep ocean to swim in and the juice may not be worth the squeeze!

(I never mind doing this, as my vet my deals pretty hard, and feel super confident they will not go belly-up).  

You'd need to juice the ARV into the $500s to make it work based on the numbers you provided - and would it really rent for what you would need to cover all expenses?  

As of now, Vegas is switching back to a sellers market which means the competitive juices are going to get going again.

I know my craziest story of my 3 AirBnbs (turned 2 back into Long term rentals because the juice wasn't worth the squeeze), was my initial intro into Airbnbs where a long term renter was Airbnb'ing her place out.

Our state law, and many others, require you to hold them in separate TRUST account so that if you go belly up, the SD's are protected and given back to tenants or the next owner of the building. 

I checked out his website ***************.com which they charge $100 monthly for full access, follows a similar set up as this one but you can tell it is only for self promotion and to juice its' members.  

I still suggest it to people that need that pep talk, but recommend other people when it comes to investing in real estate and actual knowledge.I don't know if that is true about not being an expert in Real Estate or anything else when he wrote (or at least published) the book.I don't believe it is in question that he did start the successful businesses (That did go belly up) that he talks about in the books and as far as I know nobody has ever questioned his contention that he started investing in RE in the 70s and retired off the passive income in the early 90s.Again he doesn't do much to tell you HOW to get to the point of starting a mutli million dollar business or a huge cash flowing rental portfolio, but I do think he did actually do those things.
