One my weak areas are understanding taxes specific to real estate investing. 

Fails to tell the homeowner that they are actively marketing the property for market value and that the investor or real estate broker plans to assign their rights in their contract with the homeowner to another investor/buyer.Fails to tell the homeowner that they intend to make a profit by accomplishing an assignment of the contract.Fails to tell the homeowner when the contract is assigned to a different investor/buyer.Investigated Case ExampleBelow is an example of a case that we investigated where the broker involved in the deal was referred criminally and her real estate license was revoked.The victim had the misfortune of being on her front porch when an “investor” and his real estate partner approached her and told her they used to live in the neighborhood and wanted to move back.They figured out her weaknesses and used them against her.

In my opinion, both have their strengths and weaknesses, and neither is 100% superior to the other.Direct real state has the advantage of being able to have complete control.

They all have strengths and weaknesses.
