I listen to your podcast religiously and have learned so much.

They claim they are religious (he is a youth pastor) and don’t smoke (but they look like the do) and image wise are tatted from head to toe and don’t come off like they say. 

Whether the question is “normal” or “worthy” is more of a political/religious question.

In most areas of the country, both vacant and improved land will have some kind of property taxes (minus religious organizations and few other exceptions).

It also opens you up to one of the major ways to lose in this business which is a forced sale down the road because the property doesn’t pay for itself.I’m not religious about cash flow but this is a lot of risk you’re taking here.

Then you have the letters that get very religious trying to appeal to the Christian side of things..

Sorry but that LL is an idiot..... you either kick that person out in Feb 2022 or you religiously monitor that property for more illegal/unauthorized activity....because its going to happen.

Unless you have buyer-in-hand or some other mission (e.g. subsidized housing or religious-based motives), I seriously think the risks are way more substantial than most people could handle.

I started investing 2 years ago and I've been going to a local meetup religiously the whole time.

I did this with every course I've ever bought and religiously listened to self help tapes for the first ten years of my business, starting with Carleton sheets and moving through every guru that sold stuff concerning real estate. ( I spend ALOT of time behind the wheel in my job. )   Except for Carleton Sheets course...I've bought every course used off of ebay and probably only spent a few thousand dollars total on what has to be every guru and course available.
