I'm not promoting unscrupulous behavior but sometimes desperate seller do desperate things and if they perceive motivation from  @Javier Osuna would they attempt to get creative?

As implemented, the law has turned into more of a fees collection, license testing and issuance business, and a promotional tool to sell educational courses than addressing abusive industry practices and providing consumer protection.

I assume all cash is not an option, but this is a small deal and chances are you can fund it using a home equity line, borrow from your 401k or even credit cards with promotional low interest rates.

If you can add value with promotion before and after the listing you will set yourself apart from a lot of agents.Networking with other agents is important. 

Basics about me:- 25yo and unmarried- $65k/year income (may be getting bumped up slightly soon due to a promotion)- currently studying outside of work to add some more designations behind my name (already have CFP, working on CLU and ChFC to expand knowledge)- about to purchase my first home and will be renting out a room to a solid renter for first 3 years which will cover slightly over 50% of PITI- I've generally been able to invest and also pay down student loans with about 35-45% of my pay since beginning my careerOnce I finish wiping out my debt, I plan on ramping up my savings by maxing out my 401k, roth IRA, hsa, and hopefully about 10-20k in taxable accounts yearly (currently maxing roth/hsa and hitting matched amount in 401k).

The business model to develop Community Association Manager (CAM) licensing legislation (and other HOA legislation): 1) legislators consult with the Community Association Institute (CAI)) to craft a Bill aimed at mitigating abusive practices of property managers who are the very folks the CAI represents 2) CAI lobbyist and their CAI “dependable” legislators become Bill sponsors 3) the Bill is assigned to Committees with CAI “dependable” legislators 4) the Bill becomes law with little to no home owner input, full of promoting CAI interests, and heavy on fees and costs and processes imposed on CAMs and 5) the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) implements licensing rules highly reflective of CAI efforts but fail to even contain explicit language for CAMs to obey State law or an HOAs governing laws or for CAMs to report observed violation of the law thus ensuring oversight is empty from the home owner’s perspective.

Assuming I find a few good deals I plan to wholesale and possibly keep a couple for rentals.While I wait for the letters to print and send I plan to get involved in my local REI/Meet up groups, drive for dollars, and do everything that I can to promote myself over social media.

The instructor is an investor and he gives a lot of content and direction but it lacks the Peaks Energy and they do promote the inner circle with mentoring and coaching along with more trainings and inside buyers groups.

I tell people if they see a Turnkey provider promoting cap rates or PTR ratios that they are either ignorant of basic real estate metrics or crooks.
