There are a lot of quirks and oddities in Louisiana law where the current tenant can assert that they have an implied agreement that they can pay late, stay X months without a lease, do whatever action, etc, based on what the current landlord/owner has allowed and told them in the past.

I also have an investment company that has been established for 10 yrs that I’ve flipped a few properties and hold land in.**** My current issue with the lender that I recently spoke with was that I had to have experience building a SFR on my own property and have sold or refinanced and held in order to be approved for the loan.

I don't personally care about checks anymore so that wasn't an important feature for me. 

Have you calculated what your (monthly nut) is you need to survive business wise and personally?

When you have a new area that still has easy access to an established city, it can flourish. 

Personally that is what I wanted, an active mentor. 

All being said, most real estate investors advocate that the earlier you can take action and acquire your first deal, the quicker you'll learn.

Personally I will not work with them specifically due to this fee.

Let’s make 2025 a year of action and success!

But you don't find the same person you did back when.
