Most new investors, myself included, fail to properly weigh the impact of variables beyond our control—like market and market cycle conditions—into the success (or failure) of our investments.

If you are required to file get it in by 3/15 or file an extension.LLC failure to file penalties, if you are required to file, are expensive so make sure to file on time or file an extension....

The fact that the top 20% of agents do 80% of the business is a testament to the fact that each person is in control of their success or failure in this arena, not the broker but what the broker can offer each individual to increase their abilities for success are what really matter.eXp is about to launch a new and exciting program this month that very few are currently aware of.

LOL Failure pay was common and hardly anyone would pay their last month's rent—they would just go POOF! 

Failure to self-regulate means more bad actors. 

Many leases have provisions for a failure to deliver the property.

Learning from those who have navigated similar paths and hearing about their successes and failures can provide valuable insights and guidance.I hope these lessons I've learned along the way can be helpful to those considering out-of-state investing.

You need a report saying contractor or seller dumped plaster down the pipes in final clean up and caused the failure or letters from your contractor/plumber saying "this was clearly known by any human who looked in the crawl space," but you are a sweet not know-legible guy who never studied plumbing....

I knew I was stretching to buy that duplex, but I could never buy it again, demand is too high here now.I’m not telling you how to do it I am saying it can be done.Even recalling   all the 10-year-old cars I drove (Drive),  all the weekends where I showed up to the potluck on Saturday night with my hands covered in paint, all the plumbing leaks and repairs, septic failures......It was worth it.

This speaks to the character of the syndicator.To me the main failure point was his access to capital.
