A beautiful home that profited well.

When it comes to being a real estate professional, it actually doesn’t have anything to do with your job title or profession.

Quote from @Robert Frazier: I would stick to something that can be replicated on each flip when you are in a market like this price point.

The didn't live within their means, accrued a lot of debt, and it eventually resulted in them not paying rent and being evicted.Consolidating debt reduces their payments so they have more money available, but it doesn't automatically teach them to live within their means.

Given that your property has been subdivided into two rental units, it should indeed be compared to other multifamily properties in the area, not single-family homes.

With nearly 250 homes branded under Hestia, I think I'm finally getting a little bit of traction with the big guys but there is still alot to be done. 

With regard to the fees that is much less expensive than a Delaware Statutory Trust where fees can be upwards of 20% which is totally unacceptable unless you have absolutely no other options. 

—half the battle is the mindset, and you’ve got that nailed.Start with the basics: understand your market, run the numbers, and don’t be afraid to ask questions.

If it goes well, investo more.If it goes poorly, figure out why and maybe you picked the wrong market, the wrong team or the wrong property Class. 

You’ll learn a ton just by surrounding yourself with the right people and asking the right questions.Stay focused, keep learning, and don’t hesitate to reach out to others who’ve been there.Cheers,Johnny
