Paul has in the past enacted restrictions on raising rents.

But as some one who was raised in this business has owned 3 brokerages I can tell you that only 10 to 20% of agents make 80% of the revenue wash out rate is high.. with Wholesaling I suggest that only 5 % who try it are still doing it in a year and in any given market there will be a handful of wholesalers that do pretty good to very good the rest just trundle along now granted if they make 50 to 100k a year in the mid west and were used to making 20 to 30k in their JOB this is a big improvement over where they were at..

We were both born/raised in the area and my family still lives there so long term we will eventually move back ourselves. 2.

I own a SFH in Santa Barbara County (it's in an unincorporated area between SB and Goleta.)Ive had wonderful tenants since buying the property in late 2017 and have raised the rent just twice (still WELL under market value rent).

We secured a 200k USD senior debt position which allows us to avoid raising so much equity.

They leave, you raise rents and on it goes.

I might stay away from self managing in my first deal and rather focus on raising funds and managing the investment. 

There are a ton of people raising for other people's deals.

Jerry Shen has raised the issue that concerns me most about bitcoin.  

Raised the 25% down payment through a partnership with family members (my parents and my two oldest children).
