Lots of realtors on here BS your returns but thats the truth your not going to make money buying using a manager at 25 down in 2024, its just not happening unless you pay cash. 

In truth I have found appraisers holding the MAI designation to provide more accurate and more unbiased appraisals than appraisers who are not Appraisal Institute members.  

Potential solution: Get business related insurance (either through rental or umbrella), and town permission to run a business here.3) Not being entirely truthful of questionnaire when asked about history.

Now add internet and connectivity because as much as one can live without it perception is that one can-not, and there is societal truths to that. 

The simple truth is that  private funds come from  trust deed investors placing it in other people's real estate.

You definitely need to see what they are, and check out the fire story for the potential tenants’ truthfulness.

So here is the BRUTAL truth it’s politically incorrect to state; MOST wholesalers fail because they’re inexperienced, unknowledgeable, undercapitalized, and competing against a few well capitalized experienced people in a shrinking market for their services.

Another piece from NAR "The Truth About the NAR Settlement" about pervasive misinformation in the media:https://www.nar.realtor/magazine/real-estate-news/law-and-et...Interesting take on Youtube from Jack Gately (real estate agent but not a Realtor):Link may not work, google or search youtube for Jack Gately, "I read the whole 108 page proposed NAR settlement and found a HUGE LOOPHOLE"Notorious ROB's take on it (after he read the settlement) which I thought was really good (paywall alert, sorry):https://notoriousrob.substack.com/p/the-nar-settlement-first...

It's been a recent trend in "renting is cheaper than buying" which speaks to the "time" aspect of the above, because given the meteoric rise in prices, and many of the operational expenses lagging in there impact, and than landlord's lagging in the pass-through, there has been much truth to that statement.     

This does not mean there is no truth to the other market posts.
