And I feel this book took my personal due diligence (and how I look at syndication deals) to the next level.

I will pay more attention to them and see if I can narrow down the ones in person. 

So it can feel like a grind - it's a grind that I love personally, but that's not always the case for some people.

I do my own due diligence and call all reference numbers, past landlords, and do an in person interview.

Where other people see a mud hole, you see a nice building pad.Key thing is you personally have to be creative.  

I personally like the credit card balance transfer check route, since it's interest-free for a decent amount of time (aside from an initial 3.00% fee). 

Also if I was cosigning I would have a separate agreement with this person to make sure I could easily take every asset they have in case this loan defaults. 

But she likes that one because the person listens to her and her hair looks great. 

We leverage Airdna and Airbtics data and I personally recomend looking at every data source humanly possible and plugging in your best estimates for conservative, ok, good, and best as well as your best possible estimates for expenses in order to really get a firm grasp of the potential profit. 

Even though it's not my personal account I worry about giving someone a login to it.
