🟢 Pros and 🚩Cons of Renatus Education: A Personal ExperienceWhen I initially decided to pursue real estate education, I chose Renatus.

As a non-resident, I’m finding the process challenging due to factors like high upfront costs, foreign buyers’ taxes, and financing limitations.I’d love to hear your advice or experiences regarding:•Strategies to manage the high initial costs and foreign buyers’ taxes.

I would invest in ugly houses that need lots of rehab work to build the equity and refi spreads needed to offset the work and preserve most/all of my initial capital.

However, the City initiated the "Buy Into Baltimore" open bid program (which we're interested in participating) through which you can bid/buy city-owned abandoned/vacant properties for redevelopment/resale.The problem is, there are so many blighted neighborhoods in Baltimore, it's tough to know where to start.

Initially, the mayor did a press release saying they wouldn’t allow any unrelated occupants to live outside of a certain small area.

Two weeks later, the client locked down a deal that appraised well above their initial projections.If you’re serious about pushing your boundaries..maybe setting your sights on Chicago’s undervalued neighborhoods or San Antonio’s quieter pockets..let’s talk.

I'd definitely be interested in something like this, I appreciate the initiative!  

Plus the 1031 exchange agent's fee of $6500 for a build-to-suit exchange, the initial acquisition cost was close to $120k.

They quoted me a rate, 1.5% origination fees and 999 service fees initially, I provided all the docs and worked with them for 3 weeks.

I look at total return.My last purchase had horrendous initial cash flow.
