Since I'm focusing on investors I don't think the traditional methods of cold calling, calling expired listings and canvassing neighborhoods applies.

What is better in your opinion, online lenders, traditional banks, or other?

I'm finding that most agents have no idea how to help a family about to lose their house other than traditional sales.

Damage by candles, mud, pets, paint, wine, beverages, shoes, anything excessive should be billed to the tenant, that's for sure.

And then think about whether a mentor, in the traditional sense, will help you fill those gaps.I agree that if a mentor is the only thing standing in your way of tripling your income, then paying for one is an incredible bargain.

Main thing is they have a 3" port from the tank, as opposed to the traditional 2", the water flies out of there.Online reviews sometimes say their quality control is bad, but I've installed a dozen with no issues.

If you really want to try airbnb, try it with something a little more traditional, like a house or condo.

Rebelling from the status quo and looking for alternatives from the traditional career path allowed me to discover real estate investing at an early age.

How do you think this idea compares to more traditional investment strategies, like buying inexpensive multi-family units?

Brad,Thank you for the feedback.I could get traditional financing but current market conditions seem to show that residential real estate price appreciation for most Metro areas is near their pre-great-recession peak.
