@Scott TrenchPeople thought last year we reached the peak but reality is we are just scratching the surface as many deals that were in trouble were hoping for rates to come down have not - so it’s gonna get worse before it gets betterThis one seems sketch to me honestly as if original poster is reading this why wait four years ?

The grass is not always necessarily greener, though it may appear to be on the surface. 

No one has more "skin in the game" than a PMC as they have to deal with the property every day until an owner sells or fires them.Also recommend finding your own Inspector and not one referred by an agent.

It's great to get someone's perspective, but what I've learned, even after someone gets free advice, they don't take it because they have no skin in the game.They haven't either worked or paid for that advice, and they don't value it.

I'm not sure how this could be structured so speak with a lender but on the surface that would be great if you could get two properties with zero down.

A year of rent sounds great on the surface but I’m wondering why they wouldn’t just pursue a normal year long rental…maybe they’ve been bad renters or have bad credit or low income.

In my experience success in real estate, whether as an investor or provider, requires a “thick skin”.  

I find it difficult to step into foreclosures since, in my experience, books and courses I've crossed by are very surface level. 

I'm working on a 53 unit deal now without banks.There are so many different ways to skin a cat in this game. 

I have read and watched a lot about it so I have surface understanding of how it works, but I feel that I do not really know much about details like tax implications , among other things that could influence my decision to start investing.
