Also the new owner has the advantage of screening their own tenants and signing leases at or above market rents.

@Roger Garner all of the above give you great ways to find GCs, but HOW will you screen the bad from the good?

Thanks a lotThe only safe way to find a partner or mentor is to attend local real estate investor groups.Go to NETWORK at the top of your screen and you can search for other investors and investment groups in your area.

But I can't help but think that I could benefit from the occasional discussion about real estate strategies or bounce opportunities off one another.Coach Carson's RPM program details below:Cost: ~$2500/yearBenefits (form Website):Personalized Coaching: Members receive direct support and feedback from Coach Carson and selected coaches, including monthly group coaching sessions, one-on-one "hot seat" calls, and small group coaching within Action Teams.Action Teams: These are accountability groups of 8-10 members that meet weekly over a three-month period to set and achieve goals, fostering perseverance and resilience among participants.Comprehensive Resources: Members have access to a repository of documents, systems, checklists, and more in the community swipe file, including tenant screening criteria, due diligence checklists, and rental analysis spreadsheets.Exclusive Community: RPM offers a private community of like-minded investors who prioritize time and freedom over scaling rapidly, providing a supportive environment for shared learning and growth.The Group Targets:Investors with experience owning 1 to 8+ properties, whether short-term (e.g., Airbnb), mid-term, or long-term rentals.Individuals who are coachable, hardworking, and value time and freedom over aggressive scaling.

I just took the following numbers and pasted them in a repeating pattern into the Vertex42 spreadsheet on 10 month intervals starting in month one: 309.38 308.44 307.50 306.56 305.63 304.69 303.75 302.81 301.88 300.94I took screen shots of the Vertex42 spreadsheets that shows the total payment amount and total number of payments made.

Well there's a reason they screen their borrowers, secure their loans with a first position trust deed/mortgage and charge a small fortune to make such a loan.

While it provides a steady income stream and potential appreciation, it demands active management, thorough tenant screening, and may involve higher vacancy risks compared to traditional leases.
