Karma Senge Peter Harris Coaching - Disappointed
1 March 2024 | 97 replies
I get it .. but I also know how tough this business is and 97% of the people simply are not going to buy their way to success.. just like 90% of the newbies that post on BP will do exactly NOTHING in real estate we all get fired up.. but there is only so much of it to go around.. its FAR harder than it looks and it does either take some real good innate skills or lacking that some good liquidity so you can buy into the market.. thats why the Vanilla rental house game is so huge right now.. anyone who can fog a mirror can understand.. buy a rental put a tenant in it.. collect rent... past that when your talking about these more complicated transactions pretty tough to have no experience and just pay a few bucks and your going to be knocking down 250k profits.. its no different than the wholesaler guru who pitches making 20 to 40k a month .. can U yes how many do maybe 1% who try... or the guru who teachs flipping and making 50k per flip one a month... again how many can do that not many... one they don't think it through.. if your going to do 50k flips and one a month and you have 6 to 9 month cycle you need to buy 6 to 9 projects before you turn one.. how many starting out can do that.it would be more realistic to say hey start with one in 6 months then do 2 and maybe in five years your doing 10 to 15 a year.and or it really depends on markets... but gurus talk like all markets are interchangeable and they simply are not.

Caio Ferreira Torres House Hacking Every Year Not Possible?
1 March 2024 | 13 replies
@Caio Ferreira Torres Congrats on getting done with your first one, I started back in 2017, and I've house hacked 7 times since then with a W2 making about the same when I first started, so it is totally possible, you need to understand how lender's calculate Debt to Income Ratio, it isn't just adding mortgages to the denominator.
