LEVERAGE is the "secret sauce" to investing in real estate, so remove of that, it's got BIG impacts.

As I have said many MANY times before; most often the "Secret Recipe" to getting a "Cash Cow" of a rental is buying a Net-0 rental today, and TIME. 

With no disrepect meant, it's clear you believe you're smarter than the generations of investors before you and you have figured out the secret sauce to buying at retail, having little cash flow, but still making it a great real estate deal.

Here's a secret; it's not the guys trying to get clean.

Here’s a little secret: creative financing strategies can be a game-changer.

That's the secret sauce!

This is a sometimes a difficult concept for non-contactor to grasp but:  The Customer Always Pays For EverythingContractors do not have some secret source of funds - every dime they have or spend or make is obtained from the customer.  

And best kept secret!!! 

You should see March full, at least on the weekends.I'm hesitant to offer much of my "secret sauce" that would significantly elevate your game, as it would create competition for my clients, which have to come first.

.: I agree 100% - part of the problem is a lot of RE investing these days is marketed as a get rich quick scheme where you'll be able to buy a few rent houses, make monthly passive income, retire and travel the world.the best way to "get rich quick scheme" is to work for a company that can print money for you/for a company and that amount keeps increasing while you are not doing anything more. that's the actual secret lolRE is more like get-rich-very-slow-while-work-on-RE-more-than-your-W2-scheme.
