Although I would highly suggest you get a mentor to teach you what to expect, how to "build your boots on the ground" and use systems and processes to keep everything flowing smoothly.

The best thing you can do initially is avoid wasting time, prepare via research and make that first move as smooth as possibleThere are many ways to start but I think one great option if residing in the US is saving a small amount of money and purchasing a multi family via primary residence FHA conventional loan.

In the end though I guess it was cool because my loan officer went on vacation the week my HELOC was supposed to be funded but everything still ended smoothly.

I feel like the process has been somewhat smooth however it seems like there has been some issues regarding what the contractors will provide and what is my responsibility.

Everything has been going smooth so far until I received a 30 day late notice from my auto loan today.

@Brad FranceRight on - Here's to a smooth close!

The website won't show you the condition of the street (tons of pot holes or smooth), if theirs trash in front, if the home next door is beautiful or shot up.

After the initial setup things have ran very smooth.

We're past the point of me bringing over a bottle of wine to smooth things out.

Otherwise, I would mud over the existing tape and sand it smooth.
