And make sure you live in that 1st house so you're close to and can address problems as soon as they appear. 

Someone mentioned wanting to be within driving distance of a property, but I actually prefer not to be close.

I of course would need to look for the deals and do letter of intents on properties and find them and they would come with me to the closing table pulling out equity and then getting the cashflow.

I would really take a close look at their CMAs.

You magically get the seller to cover every single closing cost (A $12k gift, or a trick to get you to buy their problem.).

When my loan was not going to close, it was one of the options that my broker and lender told me about and actually referred me to for a conversation.

Came close on two Mexican restaurants but they fell through for one reason or another.

The drawback is that you are not able to close the property in an LLC or corporation. 

If a student doesn’t get the Charter School or neighborhood school of their choice, (which happens all the time), or the Charter School closes, they have the ability to enroll in their “neighborhood” school.

I just bought my first STR and hopefully closing in February.
