It doesn't take long to learn how to spot a good deal.6.

Been in law enforcement for some time and while they do evolve over time, they will keep the same red flags in for long enough for people to figure them out and spot them. 

I do generally agree with the sentiment of Austin and the other hosts that fundamentals will always win out in the long run, and this by nature is a long term industry, even the sales side I'm learning.  

I would have asked you what your long-term goal is but you have already thought about it.

My biggest aim is to ensure that my long-term success aligns with whoever I invest with's long-term success instead of making their money on the upfront sale and leaving me on my own. 

How long did it take to go full time?

They are exceedingly rare, thus very expensive, but I believe they represent an excellent long term steady income and store of value.  

It can still qualify if it's a fixer-upper, as long as the rental income from the property can cover the debt service.

If you’re looking for a long-term fix, go for a more robust approach.

Of course, if we have another available unit that's similar to the one they were looking at, I'll pivot to that and offer to move their current application over to that unit as long as they would still qualify under whatever the new unit's rent is.
