I just wanted to share my frustration with people who try to pitch ideas, or sell you some crap using techniques described in books, it is such a turn off and cause me to just stop listening the first second I hear crap flowing out someone's mouth,.one thing that drew me to real estate was of course rich dad poor dad.

It's hard work, its full of crap you don't want to do, and it's not a get rich quick scheme.

Don't be a slumlord, slumlords are ones with trashed places because the tenants don't give a crap b/c the owner doesn't, it goes full circle.   

Learned from a book or online course.Then add on top of that, inspection standards make them afraid of getting sued, so they call out all kinds of minor crap that every single house in the world will have.

That I was full of crap and was never going to invest in real estate because I was afraid. 

I think that 3 loan limit is some Dodd frank bull crap that will hopefully be gone soon.

If I also had high interest debt on crap that drops in value or credit cards, I would first pay that off.  

If you make a crap ton of money then it may not be a big deal to do so and you want to live in Cali forever etc.My clients like to buy in warm belt states.

Not much else matters for now.What you need to do is get yourself familiar with analyzing deals, and AVOID all those BS 70% Arv rules or $30,-/SqFt in repair costs crap.

Because even crap houses are worth 400k in LA, even if they owe 30-75k in back taxes, they figure it out or end up listing it traditionally.
