I think of golf instruction... and specialty golf schools.. how many golfers can go to a weekend course and lower their handicap by 5 strokes.. or all of a sudden hit it 30 yards further.. but of course those that sell that instruction that is the claim.. and those specialty courses cost in the thousands and that's just to get better at a game..

I would advise you to do all males or all women, no mixing men and women.

On 4-units and smaller I would suggest you should make the assumption that 3 out of 4 tenants, or all, will need to be evicted.

Such a requirement could mean that a contractor that was out to fix your roof, and your house later burns down because of inadequate wiring, could be held accountable for the house burning down - even though he was not working on the wiring.As for permits... this again depends on the city and state requirements.

Suddenly, I knew a bunch of guys, the craigslist contractor type, or the ones on the marginal end of things, getting hired by asset mgrs like one in Dallas and one in Twin Cities and they'd be sticking usually 10 grand minimum and often 15 or 20 grand, but ONLY EXTERIOR work, insides still trashed and stripped of most or all metals, etc so there was no way in hell 98% of them was going anywhere, they'll still get bulldozed someday, since not many "investors" look to stick total of $100k into house on block where the best home will NEVER go for over $50k or $60k!

Have literally gone through 7 different contractors that are "reputable" and are bailing on me left and right, or all of a sudden don't have the proper licenses.

Yes, many investors want to charge you ridiculous fees for their coaching and support and don't really care if you succeed or fail, as long as they get some (or all) of your money.2.

Those issues can cause an investor to loose some or all of their investment money.

This is especially great if you plan to roll over some or all of it each year.
