I met these people in college and grad school, which I attended thanks to both need-based and merit-based financial aid.

The lack of RE knowledge and usually the lack of business experience besides your kool aid stand as a kid, means you lack some basic skills.

Are you prepared to give other aid to that victim from the results of injuries or complications that you may inflict by attempting to use a plastic bag or in treating that victim?

Now addressing the opinion, the rant :)Rendering emergency care and first aid is not considered medical treatment, we have good samaritan laws requiring a passerby to render care.Practicing law generally is in the representation of another for some benefit or gain, drafting contracts or obtaining affidavits or evidence for a matter for defending or prosecuting someone with respect to some wrong or in a legal proceeding by a government.

We are planning on moving to Houston in 2023 and want to build up some passive income up here in milwaukee to aid us in the move, our wedding the week before the move, her grad school the year after we move, and of course our mortgage.

It's been difficult for us to find STR friendly towns within Massachusetts, so honestly 2.5 hours would be the closest range we would be able to operate (of course, besides out of state options). 

Many investors drank this kool-aid and starting buying HOA Foreclosures where they believed the underlying mortgages could no longer be foreclosed on.

It’s completely passive and the closest you’ll get to little to no compliance issues on your end in buying real estate.

I guess I drank the Kool-Aid on the whole team first, market second, property third thing.  

Some people are at their closest point to giving up before they land their first deal.Then you talk to somebody who WANTS to sell their house.They probably will sell it for "not that much" This is where Subjectivity and Perspective come into play.
