There are way too many variables and red flags all around it. 

Just finished Audible "Rich Dad Poor Dad", "Fake" and moving on to "Guide to Investing " then " Cash Flow Quandrant"Highly recommend "Fake", where he pieced together quite a few alarming red flags I noticed/observed.

finding leases is very competitive now w/ larger, VC backed players in the game and pushing a lot of new supply onto the market through taking over huge buildings.4) There's a lot of up-front cost if youre doing it right, since the market is gotten more competitive, you need to stand out. 

As great as that would be for your billable hours, that's not how life works.You'll get your final ruling when someone decides that you screwed their Grandma out of her equity in a wholesale deal and hauls you in front of a judge.In that case, good luck to you and the Red Sox. 

Lots of players in the game right now. 

But nobody is going to roll out the red carpet for you, and if they do, they are selling you something.

and even the huge players do it the same way.. 

I saw a property on red fin that I was interested in getting more info on, and I am agent from red fin reached out and is sending me info on properties as they come up.

There has been other unexpected red tape that we are dealing with as well, and it is all based on the fact that the building is a duplex (income property). 

Because if you depend on your tenants for maintenance then you are asking for your houses to be condemned with black mold, your lawn to look red as ham and coils in your fridge and ac to look like the abdominal snow man.
