A lot of people think they own notes, but they don't.

I see so many people flipping houses while contracting out all of the work and making decent profits, even when financing the deal. 

I have a friend who bought multiple properties in various Cleveland suburbs, and the agent, the broker, and the title people were clueless about RITA.

I often refi people with a 0.5% rate drop and no closing costs.  

Yeah, at this point, I’m just hoping for some general watch outs or to hear about other people’s experiences, good and bad, and any advice.

I know people say that, and it is ideal, but it is difficult, especially in growing markets.

Both the tenants and property management company were recommendations from people I trusted, but I will raise my vetting game in the future. 

But moreover, not charging and application fee is more likely to get you people applying who, well, umm, know they would likely fail one but why not apply since it's free?

Lots of people complain about the "timeline" risk.Start looking for a replacement property during the marketing process of the property that you are selling.The 45 day ID period only starts on the day you sell your relinquished property.

It's the best way to connect with the people in your market really making things happen.
