If it's used to promote an agenda or to scare you into doing something, then I take it very cautiously (like the jobs numbers, that were adjusted 340% retroactively...do you still place value on that reporting, after repeated significant adjustments?). 

They promote a lifestyle versus how to actually do something. 3.

all those things are basically mandatory starting out once you get about 10 years in then basic advertising and most of your bizz should come from referrals.

I have local lending partners at the ready if you need a referral, one of whom can now finance beachfront condos and condotels with only 15% down instead of the typical 20-25%.I follow KeyData metrics for vacation rentals.  2024 has been a solid year for Myrtle Beach short-term rental owners. 

In retrospect, some yellow flags found by the property manager during the tenant screening are now bright red flashing sirens, but the tenant showed decent credit, had a positive previous landlord reference, wrote a charming cover letter in his application, and applied through the referral of a reputable real estate agent.

Coaches run the calls, and most of the I get the feeling only want to promote their business or their own books they have self published. 

I've seen investors use credit cards with a 0% APR promotion, business loans, but most times they have someone in their network privately lending them those funds.

@Jamie Parker we've got a lot of this already setup for investors in Detroit, so please PM us.Otherwise, the BP Moderators flag our posts for self-promotion:(

I can send you some referrals to help get you started

Once you have your financing & budget squared away, you can narrow down the areas you want to focus on & ultimately purchase in.If you need a few referrals, let me know.
