Investors like me are left sifting through overpriced junk instead of finding real opportunities.This has always been true.

That’s not true.

Suggest you get your game plan in place first then go forward once you have the goal in sight.

Howdy, I have been in the game for about 10 years now and have mid seven figures of real estate assets. 

What David said is true. 

I didn’t have much money and needed to find a way to get in the game. 10 years later, I’ve got 29 SFR that profit 19k/month (not including things breaking or vacancies).

Very new at this game I live in cottonwood California and I would be interested in going to meet up if my schedule would allow.

Based on what you have explained here and assuming that all of it is true, than you really only have two options to get it rented1.

When you are new to the game, agents, wholesalers, other investors, and even you can push you around.

I just listed my last property for sale, a fourplex in Pocatello, because now I focus more on commercial RE and syndications to be a true passive investor and not deal with tenants and repairs.
