Welcome to the world of re-opening the walls to show your plumbing and electric work.

I'm new to the real estate investment world, but have been listening to as many podcast episodes as I can, while also trying to read as many books as I can. 

It’s not fair that those people don’t have to register so everyone knows where they live but because sex offenders do it means they don’t have a right to live in nice places when all they want to do is get their life’s back on track but the rest of the world blacklists them or tries to hunt them down when it’s nobody’s business but the police and they should be the only ones who get to know where they live but the government has ruined that and put sex offenders lives at risk by putting their info out for the public even after they served their time.

You can hear real-world examples of how others have built their investment portfolio and (hopefully) learn to avoid their mistakes.4.

Meetups are the best confidence supplement to books and podcasts in the world.

My goals would be to increase monthly cash flow and have more access to the property's equity for things like Cap Ex, etc....Here's a blurb from a lender's website:"By combining banking functionality with home financing into one dynamic instrument, borrowers are able to save tens of thousands of dollars and years off their loan""Designed after popular programs around the world, the All In One First Lien HELOC is the nation’s first transactional offset type-mortgage program.Home financing and banking combined:Deposits lower your loan’s principalFunds remain available for expensesInterest is calculated on the average daily balanceThis lowers the monthly interest paymentsTens of thousands of dollars can be saved over the life of the loanMortgage freedom can be achieved in half the time or less

I don't know that Crexi has any information on the owners, just data on multi and apartments.Based on a Zoom call I was on last week it sounds like Crexi is stepping its game up trying to compete in the CRE world.

I come from the world of 100-500 unit properties where this was not the case and every property had it's own separate accounts that we controlled as the owners, but now having been owning and managing 1-80 unit properties for 4+ years, trust accounting is the best way to do it. 

I know many investors from around the world that do this for many years. 10- 15% NET income is typically what they are getting. 

But there is nothing like real world transactions to learn for real....and to do that you'd need a Broker and you'd take on all of the overhead costs.
