It's an area where some struggle (especially in the beginning), but it's certainly overcomeable - and it's something that can definitely get easier when you get more established, learn how to advertise effectively and build up a buyers list.To put it as simply as possible, I'd say it's ultimately a matter of:Buying the right properties in the first place.Offering a compelling price point (which usually isn't hard, if you buy it right).Compiling the information well (with good images and descriptions).Getting your listing in front of as many eyeballs as possible (and keeping it visible).If you're able to, provide the option for seller financing, so buyers have more ways to buy your property if they're unable to get the cash from another source.Does that make sense?

@V.G Jasonyes - the variable in a lot of these posts is often the poster, and not the deal.should a brand new investor with $0 buy a random house in Ohio that needs $37K of cleverly hidden Capex because it will "cash flow" $117 a month if that Capex is ignored? 

I came across a random podcast talking about FL's market crashing due to inflated cost with too low of a demand, along with refusal to cover storm/hurricane from insurance agency ( I admit I haven't researched the truth behind this one), assuming it pushes owners/investors to go to private thirds at a massive premium.

Now my parents are still married but imagine if you can that one day my father comes home and declares after 40 years of marriage, that he fell in love with his secretary or one of his buddy's at work ( lol, I just had a image of my dad being gay ..) it has happened to 100's of thousands of women.

It was an illegal 3 family (legal single family with an in law) with a random other unit.

Operating under an LLC can also lend a professional image and help keep your personal and business finances separate.However, there are some downsides to consider.

Again, you're building an image, it shows you care and your quick to act while allowing you to learn more about them. 

please do not buy a random property in the midwest with your life savings.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1159104-overl...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1171104-the-m...

Dear friends, I have been receiving inquiries from insurance company, temp housing company, and random clients in FF asking for the exact address of the house, then I don't hear anything back after I gave out for a few times.

This worked well at first, but I started noticing "ghost" charges for random repairs and services: $45 for a door knob replacement, $85 for wall repairs, $65 for a toilet leak, etc.
