This is the “over night” success that’s taken 20 years.2 - Superior uncommon knowledge, combined with experience and capital and a willingness to take a risk (speculate).  

Reason: I signed a new job offer at a nonprofit yesterday and having extensive knowledge of the real-estate market in Philly would be very helpful.

After talking with an operator I felt he was a good choice for a tenant and he mad a great offer above market for the apartment so we agreed.In the past I would usually rent my own units and to stay competitive I would keep an eye on the rentals in the area and try to be one step above if I could....This time that was a little tougher as the neighborhood hasn't gotten very trendy. 

I just want to thank everyone for taking the time to share your knowledge with me.

LOL Happy to share any knowledge about that niche, since as you can see, I am kind of the go to for KY and that is all I do.

This deal leveraged strategic financing, value-add renovations, and market knowledge to deliver a strong return.

They somehow think that for $197, or $1970, or $19700, they’ve somehow acquired some methodology, strategy, knowledge or “the secret sauce” that will ensure their investing or business success, and that the experienced, knowledgeable, and successful real estate investors who point out the obvious faults “just don’t get it”.  

I feel like I have all the knowledge, but I have still not found that first deal!

I grew up on the east side of the town with a well versed knowledge of the neighborhood.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!
