What is your experience? 

Thank you for posting that very detailed experience.

I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up developments.

Many people have had a great experience with home warranties, myself included.

Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.

Has anyone had experience with RJ Bates's Titanium University training/community? 

I know I can't be the only one who has had this setup before, so I am just looking for thoughts, advice, experience, etc.

I would like to think in a way that investment in general, and the real estate investment, start with a solid economic reason - "Why do you Invest, where you invested".To elaborate on below - Vegas is a great example where no real economic driver exists and when you invest there, you should be aware that is a highly volatile market (side note: i both 2 properties there in 2011 and 2012 and i sold both this year) and you should pay an extra attention and be prepare to reposition capital.It's clear, if you invest in Vegas or Orlando (just 2x entertainment cities) you will expect ups and downs and you need to position yourself with extra reserves and extra caution if you are planning to stay in these market for long term. 

What are other options do we have if we don't have piror experience? 

I’m looking forward to learning from your experiences and sharing any insights I’ve picked up along the way!
