Your brokerage is required to supervise you, and maintain all records of the transaction, just like any other client. 

I just like to keep the record straight.

Right now, you may be looking at it as scalable, but assembling a team without a track record is hard because some may end up being leeches.

Hopefully kept good records of improvements / anything to increase the basis2.

However, it’s important to ensure that the deed is properly recorded with the county recorder’s office to make the transfer official.

It does not appear that many newbies (or experienced) investors are buying much (transaction levels are at record lows). 

Not only that most of ours we saved within 1 to 3 days of the sale so it was hair on fire getting the reinstatement back to the trustee.. total risk on our part.. give the seller some money we always did.. and then record the deed  WE did our own deeds in house.. buy without title insurance etc etc.  

Making money in real estate requires experience and starting with no or little money makes you study harder.As much as most of us probably wished for it, getting started with a lot of money in your pocket is a recipe for disaster: the temptation is to make the deal work by throwing money at it.If you want to go into real estate go with a syndicator with a good track record.

I feel like a broken record how often I say this lol but we have cashflow, affordability, growth, and appreciation.

However, normal wear and tear (like some dust or minor carpet stains) shouldn’t count.It’s always a good idea to take photos and keep a record of the condition before the tenant moves in and after they move out.
