So I have a few questions I wanted to asked this well educated community.

And DC is a haven for young highly educated would-be first time home buyers.

Do you provide move in and move out reports How many pictures do you take of the property prior to tenant moves in and after the tenant moves outDo you get weekly reports when the property is vacant what prospective tenants are saying about your homeDo you provide monthly newsletters to your tenantsDo you hold investor education classes to help me become a better investorDo you have single point portfolio based management services?

We've been helping investors from Bigger Pockets buy in Boise where that rule does not necessarily work - that's because we try to educate them that its more important to take action on an pretty good investment property than waiting around for a "home-run" deal. 

I console myself with the fact that compared to higher education that is relatively cheap tuition. 

Scaling up properties requires cash flow or equity, continuous education, networking, mentorship, patience, and persistence.

Do know of any resources (books, courses, YouTube videos, etc.) to get educated on private money lending?

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

I obviously had not educated myself well before diving in.
