Dont cut corners and get repairs done right the 1st time Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

LOL.There’s a WORSE WAY and a BEST WAY to try to obtain items 1-4 aboveBEST WAY: College or Professional Association courses in real estate (real estate license course as a base) and work experience for a REIT or other professional real estate organization and capital saved or equity raised from private parties with a MODERATE amount of debt leverage and or utilizing creative financing with low interest rate debt (may be highly leverage)WORSE WAY; Any guru courses or mentorship’s combine with high interest debt. 

So 1st of all, I should say the reason I bother to point all of this out is I think biggerpockets is a great value, I’ve met multiple people I consider good friends from this site & hate to see it ruined, to be frank I think since around the pandemic bigger pockets has increasingly been on of the bigger although certainly not the only purveyor of what I would basically consider real estate grift, the no money down buy 10 rental properties, just the other day you guys had Dave Meyer who is truly one of favorite real estate commentators on instagram promoting some program to invest in real estate with no money down and no assets, I know Dave likley doesn’t believe any of that and the social team justprobably made him do that, I think the push of  sub-2 is a scam that takes advantage of old people and very possibly constitutes mortgage fraud, without naming names I think I number of proment bp personalities can be more or less considered grifters promoting their own stuff, while obsetobly working for bigger pockets, I think a key part of any website is basic editorial control and that bp has failed at thet, sorry if that is harsh but I say it because I care lol.  

Readers are advised to seek professional advice.

Take the time to thoroughly evaluate these factors and consider seeking advice from real estate professionals and financial experts to make the best decision for your situation.

Be careful. 

@William CoetI would be very careful providing sellers tax advice as you don’t know their situation.

You stop worrying about having to maximize every month on every rental because you just don't care if you bring in an extra $50; you'd rather have a stable tenant that pays on time every time and doesn't cause you trouble.

I am not sure why is that but you have to be careful on what are the agreement on that contract.In this case, I would recommend to get involved with a investor friendly realtor who will help you as it could be many issues during the process as the titles are not clean in most cases and many variables have to be checked. 

I've been too busy rehabbing my 3 unit apartment building to really focus on anything else.But nonetheless, I have been keeping up with my less-than-professional deal pipeline.My first question regarding this involves raising capital to invest in deals.
