Quote from @Neil Clooney: Hi,Does anyone have any advice on real estate mentorship programs.

The DSCR program "Must use the lesser of the two either common rent from the appraiser 1007 rent schedule form on the appraisal or the lease".You also have to factor in the taxes and insurance because a guesstimate or ball park can kill the approval. 

But if there is a job loss and can't pay then do the notice and or cash for keys program. 

not sure how sec 8 works exactly in cleveland but in areas I owned sec 8 leases could only be written for a year.. also its only guaranteed if the home pass's inspection and the tenant stays on the program etc etc.. if you have a GOOD sec 8 tenant then yes its very predictable.

They introduced a consumer alerts program back in 2012.

If your goal is less required documentation, DSCR is likely your best bet as most everyone as mentioned, possibly a bank statement program depending on your job structure. 

Like I brokered a 22  lot development of duplex's for a builder and just charged him 30k flat fee per sale.. they sold for 225k each back in 05 when I did this and I sold them all in one weekend at a big event i paid for in San Jose CA.. all to CA investors it was my fly and buy program I did in those days..

The real estate market is constantly shifting, and most coaching programs are outdated.

This is for one lender's program.

Whether an individual consultant or a mentor through a program, mentors provide the foresight and support you eventually need because of their experience.
