I will say it was disclosed to us in a fine print email, but it was definitely not clearly told to us and many people are migrating away because we have our direct sites listed as fee free and they no longer would be.I did extensive research last year when signing up and Hostfully was my runner up and that’s why I am switching to them.

Appreciate it @Mohammed Rahman decided to sell and move on to the next deal with more knowledge.

.- Background: Took some real estate classes before but really a lot of self learning on creative financing - Current Goal:To close my first wholesale deal within the next few months by learning from seasoned investors and applying proven strategies.I'm here to absorb as much knowledge as possible, so if you have any tips or resources, I’m all ears!

I want to ask ya'll seasoned investors if you were starting out today where would you start investing with all the experience and knowledge you have now?

I've done plenty of deals without and agent, off market not even on the MLS but I'm one of those wholesalers that did things properly, had qualified buyers before even reaching out to sellers and strictly stuck with assignments.Biggest problem is so many "wholesalers" barely have the understand of a deed or what title insurance is so there's an immense amount of knowledge they need before hand which can just be provided to them by getting a license!

How limited is your knowledge base?

I just know I don’t have the knowledge yet to find a deal and a lower price point is appealing for sure.

The lessons you learned the hard way in 2008 will be invaluable now, and it’s great that you’re aiming to stay small-scale and within your comfort zone of Sacramento, which gives you an advantage of knowledge in that market.Given your experience, I'd say start by focusing on three key areas to build confidence and minimize risks:Budget Control: Over-renovating was one of the big mistakes you mentioned.

For syndicates with loan maturities after 2030, they even have a shot at making a positive return, and perhaps even a decent one considering what they've endured to get there.Kicking the can down the road:  Owners and syndicators hoping they can kick the can down the road by negotiating loan maturity extensions are likely to be disappointed. 

Find as many investor meetups as you can as the knowledge others have are invaluable when you're first starting out.
