This didn't happen to me, but it is still the most significant mistake I have witnessed in real estate.

You likely can’t wholesale a property under contract wit a realtor.

I have witnessed far to much financial devastation from LA investors buying properties that have touted the highest returns only to realize they bought in a very tough neighborhood..

She also lied to me about owning only one property, when she wrote that she owns multiple properties in a text message to my son- which leads to the main point & which is probably why I am feeling like a mama-bear about this- I'm idly witnessing my 19 year-old-son getting ripped off on his first experience renting a place of his own.

I've been an expert witness in foreclosure cases and managed hundreds of foreclosures in my career.

However, quitting the day job is not a great idea at this point....perhaps you should read Rich Dad, Poor Dad or buy the Cash Flow game and learn about passive income greater than your bills each month....Brandon says 2x your monthly debt and I think that is smart.On the flip side, I've been married 25 yrs and divorce is a situation that I have witnessed in friends and family and it is never an easy circumstance.  

It's worth noting that the downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods have witnessed significant revitalization efforts, presenting potential growth opportunities.2.

I am bias to this question only because I live here and I have witnessed what it has done for me and my financial freedom from working a regular 9-5 job.

I've witnessed this on many occasions.
