@Stuart UdisAll great comments, seems like putting skin in the game will be a reassuring factor for any potential investors.

Shout out to permit professionals like Roy Hasson (just a friend in LA specializing in navigating permit process - this is not a business play we do not work together), who are dedicated to helping others and will likely develop similar resources to support their communities through the rebuilding process.If you’re working on rebuilding efforts or have questions, feel free to connect with me—I’d love to collaborate.

My humble advice to anyone attempting to do creative finance is:Creative finance is for experienced investors who have access to capital if anything goes wrong.Learn the lawsDon't use a contract "off the internet", laws vary by state and are also regulated on a federal levelLearn the financing techniques correctlyDon’t skip parts of the processDon’t ever do a “kitchen table” closingUse the proper deedAn attorney can help you with the legal work, but the rest you are on your ownYour guru will not bail you out“Investing” in someone else’s deal by providing a small 2nd loan so the “investor” can pay for “cash to the seller” and for “closing costs” so he can do the deal is a very bad planKnow what problems can ariseLearn the responses and solutions to problems before they are neededKnow everything there is to know about Title and what that meansKnow who a "protected class" individual isLearn the "back doors"Learn human natureUnderstand timelinesUnderstand regulation enforcement (some of these "mistakes" have a 10 year statue of limitations ( they can charge you 10 years AFTER you do the transaction) and carry hefty fines and possible imprisonmentThe court doesn't accept "I didn't know" for an answer"Know that the source of the lead plays a serious role in some states and federallyKnow how much of a "profit" pushes the boundaries to invite an investigationYou can be sued by the seller if you don’t do things correctlyYou are automatically at fault if an investigator or attorney or regulator gets involved.

Figure out how you want to handle you investing and what role real estate plays in that. 

Have flexible repayment terms been a game changer for your deals, and if so, how have you leveraged that flexibility to scale your investments?

Currently, Cape Coral's inventory, new listings, etc are on the decline again.As @Bernard J. implied, I would take a sizeable tax hit if I sold immediately, but again there are a lot of market conditions at play. 

If you don't/won't have WiFi then you should either consider a SimpliSafe system that you can move around from house to house, or some type of Trail cameras like hunters use for identifying game areas.

They simply took a play out of the Santarelli and Fossum financial fraud playbook and promised 25% annual returns to investors.Unfortunately for those investors, by late 2022, investors stopped receiving payments and were literally “re-upped” or re-solicited by Lopez and Mehr for more money to help them avoid bankruptcy.

A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

Name of the game for me is speed to move the contract.Currently I have a mass email marketing platform that works well but no one checks their email as much as their texts.
