If you’re referring to the “newbies” with $10k to their name that watch a video by Pace and get excited and pay for joining, go out with their last $5k and do a sub to with a “desperate” homeowner without revealing all the possible consequences (because they are unaware of the consequences through lack of experience and lack of knowledge and or choose not to inform the seller) then I agree, it’s probably going to turn out badly for all concerned.If on the other hand you’re referring to a seasoned investor with excellent credit, significant cash reserves, who wants to add a property to their portfolio without going through loan qualifying, and can pay enough to give the seller “walking away” money because of the low existing interest rates and or, and is dealing with a informed seller, then I find nothing wrong or negative about the transaction.  

I just purchased a SFR 3 bed-1 bath and I would love to talk to you about it.

Simple furnishings bought used, a single bed, and dresser. 

I do this as there is so many different ways persons choose to do such, so many different fee structures, so I keep it off and I tell clients UP FRONT to keep that in mind and add what is specific to there situation.   

Acquired a double lot for $112k after resolving title issues and paid $360k for construction, creating a 6-bed, 5-bath house designed for co-living or multi-gen use.

One of the board members was there and is looking to retire, We hit it off and he opened up his 30+ property portfolio to me to choose from.

@Eric Miller Choosing between one $600k property at 70% LTV and four $300k properties at 95% LTV depends on your goals, risk tolerance, and management capacity.

Choosing a location near LA, accessible by a short flight or drive, will make it easier to check on your projects.

Whoever you choose to coach you needs 4 things:1) Need to know what you want to know. 

Choose to learn from this and just be better to those that come after…
