They put alot of the meetings online as well with information that comes from them.

It’s a get rich slow game, but if you can be patient and give yourself 5-10 years investing in RE, you’ll be set.

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

A borrower really needs to have at least some "skin in the game" to make lenders feel comfortable.

The Private Equity and Institutional investor is playing the ADU game - I’m working with them.

On the surface, it’s a game-changer.

I’m an investor and student of the game when it comes to building passive income and a solid portfolio.

Paid a top local esigner to come have a look and all she did was insult our cute little place that was doing just fine.....But I think where a designer could add value is by suggesting unique areas, like game rooms, coffee bars, outdoor BBQ/play areas, and stuff like that. 

I have read a lot of posts on Residential Assisted Living, that I am considering getting involved in, and seems like many of the posts make reference to RAL Academy and noted that there is an online version and in person version . . . wondering if any of you have taken either and if you would recommend one over the other and why.
