You can't see the property before if it's a true foreclosure so you are bidding blind.3.

Considering traveling nurses/workers, as well as seasonal rental for ND home games (also a huge Fighting Irish family).

I learned this phrase about 50 years ago in my first year as an agent and its true today."

All depends on what your goals are and what market fits your game-plan/criteria 

My future game plan is looking to buy a condo with 50% down payment and pay it off within 3 years.

So, I'd like to get ahead of the game and start working up a plan and a strong argument for it which I can use when the time comes. 

What's the one investment strategy you wish you'd known when you first started in real estate, and how has it shaped your journey?

Prefer keeping this kind of stuff behind closed doors if possible and sorting it out without revealing dirty laundry.I would have been in the same boat as many other turnkey providers that are no longer around if I didn't focus on limiting how much business I take on.And even with my stupidly strict criteria, we still copped the brunt of the sword.Business is business and people are people, sometimes things just don't work out.It's a true shame but such is life.I always want whats best for everyone and for every deal to work out and for everyone to succeed.With the best intentions, mistakes are still made.Those that work hard and do their best, will also make mistakes unfortunately.Again, I sleep in peace and whenever I F@#$ up, it's an honest mistake so crucify me all you want.Thank God, never been sued and back round is squeaky clean and I intend to keep it that way.Less is more and when crisis does arise (It always eventually does no matter how much you prepare and do your best), we can hopefully rectify and do our best to fix.For example, just had an investor loose $50,000 on a deal and the next few deals we are working for free for this investor.We don't have to do this, we want to...Not sure how we would be able to accommodate such an instance if I had 50+ investors loosing that much so I guess my stringent on-boarding criteria has saved our A$$ for 10+ years now.Granted, I'm burnt out on folks and have pulled back even more from doing our "measly" 4-5 turnkey deals per month and have decided to focus on just building my own portfolio.Like I initially intended when I moved to this country in 2012.Thanks mate and keep being great

Too good to be true is also a huge red flag.

Yes, I have been very happy with the team at True Home Ohio.
