It’s a great reminder to trust your own due diligence and not let others make critical decisions for you, like hiring a property manager.For future investments, building a trusted team and maintaining direct oversight is key, even with remote deals.

Every task must be completed diligently and on time.If you wing it, you're gonna miss something, you're gonna mess something up.So, be proactive, stay organized, and keep your power team aligned to ensure a successful closing.

That said, this might not work for everyone, so a fix-and-flip loan can be a great alternative.My team and I work with investors nationwide who face these same decisions.

➡️Develop a strong team and business structure.

No, I needed cash flow since I lost my job and invested.

The problem with selling is a lot of that equity will be lost when you sell it either through taxes or payments to your listing agent.If you ever have the ability to limit these types of fees and still be able to use your equity to fund additional purchases I think you should.

Quote from @Bret Hudson: I lost a lot of trust for biggerpockets podcast when started using dealmachine and batchleads (same company) for sponsors too.

Hey team,I’ve put an offer on a property that has had a section 8 tenant for the last 8 years.

For context, before I learned about his 6 unit I was planning to purchase a 2-3 unit long term rental in Q1 2025 as my first of many deals with a 5 year goal of financial freedom so I can coach my daughter's high school cross country and track teams.

It's just what does that really mean.I was a part of a team that managed a big brand for a large tech company.
