I'd argue even shinier now, for Buyers, b/c we actually have time to do things like due diligence, run numbers, get seller paid closing costs, concessions, etc. 

If not, now you're eating them (or trying to argue with the tenant in court in a messy, paperless legal battle, where the judge may lean towards the tenant since the landlord has no paperwork to prove otherwise). 

For example: ABC Homes, Mountain View Real Estate 

I certainly won't argue with that tip, although I might be a little biased :). 

I would definitely invest the time to do so, if thats not your thing (you just want to focus on the real estate aspect), I'd argue that its worth finding someone to help with that aspect, it will likely pay off!

But when I do click and want to see some videos even on YouTube, the video's don't seem to be grouped or organized in a matter of for example ABC's.

The other side may argue that the Interest is Joint..  

@Justin Schulte I would argue that it's actually very easy to get started in REI, very-very easy.

Remember, money in 30 years isn't going to be worth anywhere near what it is now but rents will continue to go up.  11 people to stay connected and argue about repairs/not pay anything until they eventually become a cloud on the title when someone tries to sell without alerting the others. 

@Voley Martinyou said"Eventually I definitely want to own my own LTR and STR's but I've got a big learning curve with that"I'd argue that having an LTR that is managed by a property manager is infinitely simpler / way less learning curve than STR arbitrageI'll ask you a direct question: do you have funds for a down payment and reserves?
