@Jared Galde Are you open to PM, I am curious and want to learn more about this industry?

Credit Karma uses a Vantage scoring model (which we do not use in the mortgage industry), but the trend will be the same as mortgage scores. 

@Audris TienIt Is known in the industry - read the website - logically two people could not manage $1.4B in real estate?

This is usually due to a credit score below the industry desirable score of 680 for a Commercial Loan.

Apparently, because rates increased here so astronomically in the last 2 years, the insurance industry believes their numbers are correct with the risk.If you have the correct coverage @Marc Shin, you should be covered (although you should also have budgeted or baked-in costs for minor issues/damage).

HelloOver saturated STR in Ohio markets have caused many STR to drastically lower costs to as low as  $100 for entire bedroom home.My are higher and I'm not competitive with the lower cost Abnbs.I also feel hotel industry are mass building new hotels to compete with str. 

Networking plays a crucial role in this industry and remember to keep learning continuously.

I call them in-between because they are conferences, so not like your local meetups, but they are not truly "industry" conferences like NMHC, where you will meet primarily career, corporate multi-family people.Bigger Pockets Conference and Best Ever Conference are two that likely would cater to people more in your position.  

Anyone dissing Jerry, or anyone else out there who is genuinely putting in the work and deserves every penny they EARNED - In addition to dropping gems that are unmatched in the industry are either under a rock, or don't know what they're talking about because they haven't put in 2 mins of the work to give the man a chance.

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!
