Location is one of the key components of owning real estate and given your location the trash may just be something you have to deal with.

Since I am a licensed real estate agent, I was able to represent myself as the buyer's agent.

I am a new investor in Texas, and have spent the last half year educating myself on anything real estate investing related.  

@Dan N.These types of strategies is like building a conveyer belt between your home and your neighbors in order to borrow sugar from your neighbor instead of just walking there, knocking on the door and ask for sugar.Making these overly complex strategies for real estate really adds zero benefit and just costs you extra money in the long run.May I ask why you need such a complex structure ?

Are the days of easy money through real estate investments gone? 

I’ve seen firsthand how being plugged into a strong local network can help you find off-market deals or avoid costly repairs.PS: Did you know Cleveland’s real estate market has some of the most affordable properties compared to other major metros in the US?

I’m actually in the Commercial Syndication space in real estate and have just recently wrote up a Detailed Market Analysis of Mobile, AL to better help my passive investors get a sense of what market they are getting into when investing with me and I’ll attach it here for you!

The real wealth is in equity.  

Lending attorneys are not the same as real estate attorneys.
