So, I'm looking to invest in other markets and trying to focus on one or two so that I can build knowledge over time, but narrowing it down is a challenge. 

I am using RentRedi property management for my two single family rentals.

Lenders want to see two years of stable income before they loan money to you.

I've used both in the last two, almost three years, of wholesaling real estate.

She didnt, and two weeks after going under contract, we got a credit-monitoring notification that this mortgage had gone delinquent.

I or a partner have done at least two of his boot-camps over the years, including his land & commercial property which helped us buy our first three land joint ventures-with-the-sellers a few years ago – never has there been subsequent illegal charges, but I do read thoroughly the agreements and immediately notate in my day-timer the required termination date for any company’s teaser or rebate.Again, I empathize with those who had bad experiences with any company’s or guru’s teasers, but I’d suggest rather than avoiding teasers and rebates, take advantage of them!

You're better off opting for an interest-only mortgage, saving on payments, and then refinancing it into something more conventional when interest rates drop—or, if possible, making a plan to pay down the principal.Interest-only loans, which typically last for the first 5 to 10 years of the loan term, offer two key benefits.

Then your heirs can inherit your position and keep it going every 10 years.....etc....as compared to the MIN which is due in 30 years.For example here are a few recent CRE deferred sales trust deals:- Owner who sold a $34M apartment complex and moved his funds into a Deferred Sales Trust. - $18M Business Sales of Veterinarians who sold multiple practices in Virginia and Indiana.Another example, was for a couple who sold their primary residence for $26M in Newport Beach defer $6M in capital gains tax.

Comparing just those two things, you would save way more money in the long run by avoiding the annual mortgage interest.

Last week,my sister was at a meeting with the Mayor of the town these two men live in and he knows both and said he could get them served.
