If I saw similar properties, in close proximity, that have sold in the last few months, especially if they were not on the market for very long and sold for cash, I would be all over the deal.The flip side is, if nothing has sold in that area for the last 3 years, I don't think I'd like to be the guy blazing the new trail, so to speak.

You need to blaze your own trail.

Hi there @Blaze Kuklinski,I try and combat of all their concerns with a solution.

I blazed through Rich dad poor dad the day i bought it after hearing just about every guest mention it on the bp podcast. returning to the podcasts after the book the stories are not only influential but incredibly informative. as i sit analyzing deals all i can hear is  Brandon's voice as the new voice in my head. i attempted a flip this week. found a great property in tacoma next to a nice creek. went and looked at the house and after talking with the realtor i decided to put in an offer. was able to get an HML as was looking to get the rest funded. later today i received a text from the realtor saying the house wasn't allowed to be flipped. according to the listing agent the home must be a primary residence 60 days after closing. is that a thing?

Too often I hear people want to go in guns a blazing and evict people.   

That said, I have one tenant who works for a landcare company and yes I negotiated with him to knock down the rent and have him mow the lawn which he does at a blazing speed with his ZTR. 

In about 3 weeks you can blaze through those and you'll be years ahead of he average newbie and general public. 

So far I have blazed through the Rental Property book, working my way through the bigger pockets podcasts and basically taking in any information my brain can retain.If anyone can lend some advice, do's and don'ts and why.

I would say maybe as few as 10-20% actually take my advice and let me direct them rather than trying to blaze their own trail.  

For someone going in guns blazing it might be the right move.
