I stopped counting at $2m in mistakes lolYou can't always win but as long as you win more than you loose, you will always be in the green.I consider all mistakes as a "cost of doing business".We live, we learn, we try again and try not to repeat the same mistakes.Much success to all 🙏

It's going to come down to how good the deal is; how Expect to put the property in an LLC no matter what to limit your risk, but you will have to personally guarantee the money that someone's willing to give.If it's somebody you just have a relationship with but has enough trust in you to lend to you, the terms can be different and it's gonna come down to what you can negotiate with them.

By taking the time to do your due diligence, you can set yourself up for success in the real estate world.
