Hello everyone,I’m a 18 year old electrical apprentice and I’m looking to do a full dive into real estate investing.I am in the union and earning base wage, parking, vacation pay, pension and full benefits are covered.I am saving about 400/w in a high interest savings account right now which is 60% of my pay, I am going to get guaranteed $5/h raises every year for the next 5 years.

I told him that if we can hang on and break even right now, then that's a win. 

My goal is a win-win situation, and it's basically for him to do owner financing and rent. 

If you see multiple posts a day, it's definitely worth speaking up about like @Nathan Gesner mentioned.At the end of the day, these "trolls, the cut and pasters, and AI posters" don't win in the long term....All sites or groups that grow experience the same issues with moderation (see Facebook groups), but VAs can't moderate because they are doing a letter of the law thing and not reading these garbage posts for what they are - spam, AI, number puffing, and cut and pasting, self-promo.

A lot of time you won't, therefore you also have to evaluate your marketing/sales strategy to partner yourself up with the right property owners that everyone wins in the end. 

Some will assist with down payments or closing costs and only require you watch some videos to become a better informed buyer, so win-win.

@Carrie Lane you'd have to prove the PMC directed the pest company to add the screens.Otherwise, you'd have to go after the pest company.Not sure what you would actually win to make it cost effective.

Negotiations focused on a win-win approach, securing the property at $197,000, aligning with market value, while setting us up for a profitable resale with a trusted buyer on the same day.

It first appraised for $330k which I challenged as I had better comps, but it's rare to win one. 

I know that a ton of people will win with the approach you are contemplating taking - in taking a HELOC out for the down payment on an investment property.
