You need someone who clicks with you personally before engaging in a mentor/mentee relationship with the dedication and stress that may be involved.Where to find a mentorStart by looking within your existing network.

We always share if we are confident in the vendor.

Plus it would have to be a banger of a property for me to have that kind of confidence in it going the distance through all the market cycles, regulation changes, OTA market shifts etc at which point I may as well buy it.Which circles back to my original point- if I am not owning and benefiting from the appreciation, why should I absorb so much risk and upfront capital if instead I can find an underperforming property with potential, take a guaranteed return off the top and invest almost no money on my side? 

I’m excited to engage with this community, share my experiences, and learn from all of you.

There is a lot more paperwork for these traditional mortgages and they will probably take 2-4 weeks longer, but you could save quite a bit in fees and rate.Otherwise, DSCR or a commercial loan is the way to go.You may be engaging in overkill if this is your first property and you are trying to put it into an LLC.

I have started doubling down on content strategy and targeted engagements and this is yielding results at a fraction of paid ads.
