Transactions and years dont tell the full story, and there are no programs keeping track of the times an honest agent protected a client by steering them away from a wrecked property.

Forget about those joker gurus, they'll steer you straight onto the highway of debt and self destruction!

Maybe the realtor will be impressed with the quality of your work and your prices, and end up steering more business your way. 

Gabe Amedee Michelle and Lucas are great individuals that could steer you in the right direction. 

My advice, probably like many, is to steer as soon as you can, in any small way that you can.

To any potential investor reading this, steer clear and investment your money elsewhere.

I would steer clear of hard money if you haven't vetted re-fi lender options thoroughly because you'll need to have an exit strategy from the hard money loan.

These so called gurus, like Sean Terry, Phil Pucgeskovoskkyyy lol and Todd To.back map out everything and many people steer away from it because they think they know better.

I don't want to steer you away necessarily from house-hacking, just know that if you ever do hard money down the line (which is the best to scale your business  IMO) we won't consider a house hack as management or investor experience! 

I have about $80k of my own finances to use for this venture, and would like to go with a hard money loan, although I'm open to traditional bank loans, but my goal is to refinance the property later this year, and use the cash to invest into further properties.Any advice on the local market and helping steer me in the right direction would be much appreciated.
