Connecting with other investors was a game-changer for me when I started.

Yup, every other entity I've seen doing flat fee is just playing a pricing game, it's not based on systems and operations being set for such, there just doing marketing or riding our tailcoat.     

You might want to do an online search for brokerages in your area that offer larger commission splits or a flat fee to their agents. 

Then you'll need to find land, acquire it, find a spec home buyer and set up meetings to design plans or buy a set online with mods.

Yes, having tenants pay ACH via a Tenant Portal software is best, but not all will cooperate and some will play games that result in NSF charges.We allow tenants to deposit cash/check/money order directly at our bank into our account.Many Class C & D tenants have challenges adapting to unfamiliar ways to pay and is often not worth the hassle (and possible evictions) to get them to change:(

All these strategies work, but the less money you have, the more you need to know the game and surround yourself with good people. $25K can absolutely get you started—it’s all about finding the right approach for your situation.

Real estate can really change the game, and finding the right properties with smart financing is key.

The Subto community is like an online real estate country club where everyone is trying to help each other.

There are any number of Real Estate schools available to you, so choose the one that compliments your learning style, whether that be online or in person or a hybrid. 

Definitely not clueless just watching the game from the sidelines.
