Or, ya know, just spend the next 140 hours trying to get a self-study law education followed by another few hundred hours self-study to sort out how to avoid repeating the situation.That's the reality of it all.

But I generally don't find that clients need to spend that much money on the process when some simple coaching can make them comfortable in their search.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

thanks for your time and help rent to retirement works directly with build to rent developers like us around the country once they are framed up. you are buying properties pretty much at market value but with a hand holding. you can work directly with a builder or directly with them. they are just an intermediary. they take 5% on what we make as a builder but have a large list of investors and a systemized approach to selling new builds. if you want to get a better deal I'd recommend directly contacting builders and building it yourself. fly to the market. spend 2 days, tour new builds, get a feeling for how it's going. if your builder isn't building multiple at a time then I wouldn't recommend working with them. rent to retirement is a well oiled and well run machine. they've had their ups and downs with dozens of transactions in florida but modified their process. they are well known and established and transparent. if you have a more specific market and feel confident in your ability to vet deals try it out. happy to talk more my info is in my signature. we work directly with them to sell new builds and no organization is perfect but I have good things to say about them as a builder and potential build to rent developer that sells build to rent triplexes and single family homes through them to end buyers in California like the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego

For the 2-3 months of dry heat, (that most of us spend in the pool or at the lake) we get to enjoy 9-10 months of pure joyous weather without extreme rain, snow, hurricanes, tornados or any other extreme conditions. :)

Okay that seems like good news for making a BRRRR work in my market since I was looking to spend something like 45-75 on rehabs for these smaller sized homes.
