I'd say Turbo Tenant, and this is from the perspective of a someone who commonly speaks with owners who've recently placed or have been placing their own tenants  - the general lean seems to be towards Turbo Tenant.

If you don’t want to spend money I’m pretty sure you could get someone to grade the surrounding dirt and add some gutters for your $5k discount and gain you will have added value and come out ahead.

I presume your intention is to be an active investor who owns physical real estate and not someone who invests passively.

If I don't do any of these courses, any other resources someone suggests for help in getting started on arbitrage? 

Originally posted by @Arsen Atanasovski:I’m a realtor, you don’t need one for a off market deal, main point if you agree to the numbers take all your paperwork to your local title company and they will do the rest, if you want to pay someone 3% like me go right ahead in the end, title calls your agent on any missing docs so basically nothing I might get a lot of negativity on this post but your buying as an investor and realtors really most of them don’t even know what an investor is, they are a realtor for the end user and make fat commissions on primary properties. 

Chances are, someone else has already asked it!

I had a flipper come to me asking about doing a new development.He would need $240,000 to purchase the land from a wholesaler and then he would have his GC partner get the construction loan but they cant get the loan if their is someone else that has a lien on the property so i would have to collateralize against one of their assets which they don't have.

The reason Brandon has yet to come across someone that regrets keeping their property is that that is not who his circle is, plus anyone that regrets keeping a property just goes and sells it so that they no longer regret keeping it.

Any advice you would give to someone first starting out?

Question is, is the person you are dealing with a correspondent broker who brings them deals to fund or someone from their company.
