I'm terrified of doing all this research, finding a "dream" property, only for it to fail and negative cash flow. 

I see people without capital being encouraged to increase their credit card limits to incur  $20 -40k debt which they are told they’ll “earn back” in the first one or two deals they do.  

Our dream is to have a homestead with 1-2 acres. 

A lot of agents don't want to have to educate someone who is broke and has dreams of financial freedom through real estate just to find out you can't buy.

Hi David Oh-You asked about a profit sharing bonus for property managers to give them an ownership mindset and incentivize them to align with your goals for quality property management.I love this idea.While I do not have a formal profit sharing plan, I always like to recognize the property management company with gift cards to the operators and the people within the property management company I have regular contact with that help keep the property running well and keeping costs down.Related to this, a handwritten thank you card to the same people periodically goes a long way.I also like to do the same for the tenants that have been paying rent on time.To your success!

You would borrow against the equity at 7% or more, then use the money to pay off a credit card?

Having lived nearby for years, I thought I knew the area well.The house itself is stunning, and the property is beautifully landscaped—truly a dream home in many ways.

Many of them are posers - I smile and nod, knowing that their posing will make an impression on many who dream of quick wealth, and that their incredibly transparent bullsh** will eventually blow up in their face, leading to no lasting wealth and potentially major problems for themselves and everyone associated with them.Many of these students receive referral fees if they are able to sign up other people to the expensive ($5K+) coaching programs, masterminds, mentorships, or tribes.

The applicant needs a credit card to complete the process and they charge more than $25.A lot of landlords in Milwaukee do the same.
