Don't accurately represent the neighborhood/property classification.Don't have consistent rehab standards for all propertiesDon't provide a scope of work for the renovation that they have done.Are they a turn-key company or are they a promoter?

I see you still promote Detroit.

I didn't hear of him after that, until he shows up at CCIA promoting some bus trip.

It used to be fine and helpful, but now it's embarrassing when someone doesn't ask about Columbus, Ohio, or the midwest and you drop into a post to suggest Columbus with the benefit to you (self-promotion).

In my area it is common for landlords to pay for heat which promotes a lot of abuse with the system in that tenants keep the heat at unreasonably high temperatures and often open the windows in the dead of winter when it can be -20 out.

More people are doing residential real estate nowadays due to online education, social media promotion and community like BP and deals are harder and harder to come by. 

Every 5 years there will be a legitimate strategy that gets promoted as the newest "Get rich tomorrow" BS that gets overhyped by the sharks. 

Typically reno scope/rents/insurance/etc. are very market-specific, so building your analysis muscle for your chosen market is important so that you go in with the best possible chance to make an educated choice on purchasing.

I mean material as recently as late 2022 was totally off-base-- the real estate rookie bootcamp, you had porfer Morby on here, the Carl twins that promote STR as recession proof, the list goes on.

@Laura Ozols  Im considering the Hero loan only because I intend to pay off the balance in full before the 18 month promotional period expires.
