You can be super hosts for 10 years and have 0 claim experience.

@Anthony KolbuszBRRRR method is a fantastic strategy, especially with your trade experience.

I have experience in single family fix and flip, 1-4 family rentals, small apartments (10-30 unit), 100+ unit apartments, development, commercial retail, industrial and office.

We do this for brand new investors with no experience.

I have some experience here, and my answer will be it depends. 

@Anthony Zotto unless you have a LOT of landlording experience, do NOT buy w/o tenants signing a lease!

Besides immediate friends and family who know me, how do I market or introduce myself as a new agent with no experience.  

Make sure that that person has a lot of experience, and make sure that there is at least 20% - 25% equity over and above the amount that you have lent and in your agreement it states that they can have no other liens or loans on top of yours.

Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences?

I have the credit, experience and the knowledge on how to underwrite the deal to show their ROI in this arrangement vs a traditional sale.
