The mentor gets 10% of first five (my mentor hasn't made a dime from me yet and has poured her decades of experience into me and other mentees, the 10% is well worth it).

But hey, without customers who want to buy post-rehabbed stuff, you'd never make a dime doing the rehab.  ;-)

Prior to this week, the issue have been small i.e. they have nickel and dimed him on several things, they were not following up with potential tenants quickly enough and didn't seem to vet potential tenants to his desire.This week brought his concern to a whole new level. 

The bond market is in a bubble due to fed purchases, record debt in student loan,auto and credit cards, the imf says 15% of listed companies can't affordthe payments on their debt, and this year has seen 65% increase in corporate bankruptcy filings, tesla has never made a dime, amazon makes 0$ on merch sales, etc,etcShort term buy and flips are probably a lot less rissk now.

so it seems like the most affordable places to start weree I live without much crime after talking to many investors, seem to nickel and dime other investors to death how do I deal with this going into the area I assume this is just keeping the property to code and once you get it to code it isn’t much of a hassle anymore it is just getting it there.

That goes with all the systems if you do not use all the features, the software is not worth a dime.

Don't step over to save a dime.

You are not ready to be a investor.Deals are a dime a dozen, wait till you are ready in 6 months to a year.

I wouldn’t offer the PM a dime, just on principle.

Advertising, legal, screening, PM fees, gas etc.Aside from your time you should not be out a dime for having to find/replace your tenant.
