On paper what you're describing might sound doable - but it sounds like your perspective on REI is based off of knowledge of only the "good parts" Managing and owning rentals (yes, even with a PM & price point of sub $50k) comes with its own challenges and headaches. 

In the videos it said to use the business service he promotes: Prime corporate services, so I called them and they recommended that I set up two LLC’s one in Wyoming for anonymity and the other one in the state I reside in: Pennsylvania, so that’s what I did.

Absolutely no view, they're right off the road.

How many off-market deals did you find in 2023?

I had recently sold my house off a few months ago and regret selling.

You would be better off having two properties at 50% leverage than one at 0%.3) You lose out on appreciation benefits by having one property unleveraged when you could have four properties at 75% leveraged4) Unleveraged properties are a target for ambulance-chasing lawyers and also now fraud. 

Rather than pay for a course I suggest identifying a wholesaler in your area that is advertising off-market homes for sale regularly (at least 5+ per month, more is better).

If YOU ARE buying an investment property, do YOU need to see cash flow off the bat to make an offer and buy it?

Hi Chris sounds like you are off to a good start.

Preferably by email as we are not allow to self promote.
