IE becoming a MFR landlord you do need some training.Its just like when you buy a franchise you have to go to their training so you learn how to cook the burgers right and so on and so forth.

@Benjamin Ying1) Waste of time unless you are buying hundreds of units.2) Any option to minimize risk is usually a good idea.3) Always better to visit an area before investing.

However I have a contractor who I’m considering partnering with who wants to buy and flip homes in Baltimore.

There will be multiple markets you can achieve a 7.5% cap rate especially if you're buying with cash.

Give them all a call and see if they are willing to sell and if not are they in the market to buy.

Nobody forced you to buy a property as a investor you are entitled to do your own research and due diligence.

That's a horrendous fallacy and a weak mindset to think that real estate agents are buying the best multis.

My method has always been to call every listing that hit 90 days on market in areas that I want to buy.

I am going to buy an apartment in Bali which is in a construction right now and the price is a presale price.

So does that mean I can't buy from a related party at all??
