I heard someone in one of these threads say "if your TV dies, do you quit paying your cable bill?"  

The frustrating part for Guru's is they teach and folks don't follow their advice and follow through then make a post like this.. which I am surprised there is not more bashing.. that goes to Brians credibility right there if you had said any of the other Guru's .. you would have had 50 post telling you how terrible they all are.Remember all this stuff is worth what you pay for it.. on BP its free.. so that's what its worth its a bunch of folks around the country giving their personal opinions and or advice which may or may not be germane to your situation.. its a free for all here.End of the day you have chosen a VERY tough industry to crack and be successful at. .And its only the late night TV that glorifies it..

It makes sense to choose at your leisure, not in a hurry, rather than waiting and the situation turns to where you have to rent it out.Besides, right now your working with the sellers dollars... you haven't closed.

Its not as simple as it looks on TV. 

excellent post. you hear about all the success stories on here - and on tv. the reality is, it isn't easy and requires a ton of $. 

I meant to say that when you are listening well, you will realize you need to take notes and you'll start to turn off the TV and listen to them at home where you can take notes. 

Over the last ten years the proliferation of "reality" TV has made the real estate investing, in particular flipping, "sexy".

Anyone in SD seen this commercial on TV.

The loan you are talking about will not be the 6.5% that you see on tv.

@Julia AllredRed flags could be anything from deferred maintenance, new hotel supply, competing brands, closure of demand generators (corporate and leisure). 60% CoC can be achieved but depends on the deal.
