Check their teeth.

It was like pulling teeth....70%.

  ( Charleston Market specific)Now I have two big Oregon projects on the books my bankers think like @Chris Seveney we are and they are fine financing for the next 2 build years.. then who knows but we still have not recovered from the last recession we still have a shortage of about 20 thousand new builds that can be absorbed.. so no slow down and you see the market report indicates that and the 3 big Amazon sites that are bringing about 6k workers don't go into service until late fall.. and the 23 homes I am building is 2 miles from there I did not sell one to anyone from Amazon.. sold one on sunday so some one moving in from Vegas.. so still 100 people a day move into the Portland metro and about 50 a day into Charleston those are my two main new build markets.all of my turn key markets are also having record years the appetite for cash flow rentals has never been higher and with financing finally loosened up to where its not like pulling teeth to get a loan its just roared back with no end in site.. at least for my guys and gals.And of course our note business is just steaming ahead at record pace as well as investors at the mom and pop level have learned what turnkey note investing is all about.

The really good looking ones, (those will tell you screw mentors... for wholesaling), and the not-so-goodlooking ones, smell a little funny, bad teeth and are mean to baby kitties, that will tell you to look for a mentor.See... looking for a mentor or not doesn't depend on the niche you are trying to get into... unless you want to become a doctor .. or a licenced engineer or some lame profession like that.See you needing a mentor or not depends on YOU!

I started investing in single family homes in November of 2019 and have grown my portfolio to 19 doors. I own one duplex and I am looking at some quads and a 6-unit property. However, I am interested in learning the p...

I will always wholesale in my backyard, but now that I've cut my teeth over these past 3 years and come to this realization I will start marketing with the same effort to other cities to actually have a business that makes money and not one that just breaks even.
