Real investors make a lot more money in REI than education. gurus can not make money in RE, so they call themselves gurus and try to scam people. 

Please feel free to reach out to discuss how we can collaborate to achieve successful outcomes.Looking forward to hearing from you!

Given the renewed concern of fire following LA’s fires and the potential insurance consequences, we have begun discussing the potential of reconsidering owning in the area. 

Our standard email with the bid states, please contact us to discuss & redline to your budget.The only thing we will require are health & safety repairs, to avoid a lawsuit.

I mean, is it as simple as finding a few recent sales within a few miles on zillow or is it as complicated as finding a commercial RE agent who I'd have to pay to give me a CMA?

I found my handyman through my RE Agent. 

Currently,I don't have any experience in RE investing but highly motivated to start it asap.
