You will not have the rate long enough for it to interfere with your current and proposed profits.This is where having a good team comes into play for example having a seasoned realtor who knows the market on the purchase/ARV side.

For example if you sold on year 1 on a 5 year prepayment penalty, the lender would hit you with 5% of the principal balance. 

It would definitely be fraud if this was the case, a recent post from an auctioneer talked about this exact situation, where they said the auctioneer was liable (different bedrooms/type of home example you don't have to read it) States would differ though and it doesn't seem black and white. https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/no-li...I do agree with you that it could very well lead to being burnt, however.

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

For example, let's say you are guaranteed a 7% pref and the property delivers exactly that, but then sells with a capital gain. 

For example, cheap goods at Walmart let people buy more cheap crap but at the expense, at least partially, of good manufacturing jobs that supported local communities. 

For example when someone wants to have financial freedom and spend more time with family, but then sets a goal by creating a heavy active income stream that involves their personal involvement daily.

Any advice, tips, or examples of how you’ve handled this would be greatly appreciated!

For example North Carolina is $40,000 or less, Texas there is no limit, and so on.

A good example is Best Buy.
