What major downfalls required you to be "on the scene" after your first deal?

You'll be on the scene so that makes it easier.

Love the Chicago tech startup scene.

I have the support of my blue collar family that i could see myself getting into the flipping scene but im also open to rental properties as well.  

Muskoka is more desolate with a lot of rich city people owning their own cottage, not as much of busy scene, you would have to really target your markets well.Lake Huron has some good citys nearby Kicnardine, south hampton.

*if you are hoping to do roommates making sure t is in a great area is very important that appeals to the young scene.*4 bedrooms are going to be better than 3 for a roommate situation.

Their real take behind-the-scenes is probably 30 to 35%.

Hi, My name is Brent Tyner, I'm a new member to the BP community from Jacksonville, Florida.I'm brand new to the scene of real estate investing and have very limited experience besides trying to read and absorb as much as I can about the field.

Or is there some other angle that gets played behind the scenes that I'm not aware of?

You go in and it looks like a murder scene with the candle stains in the carpet that look like blood.I have sold some really rough buildings for clients before.
