One thing you don't want to do is to buy based on proforma and have a negative cash flow property, especially on your first deal.

The only reason we don't qualify for traditional lending is because I took some time off to help my terminally ill father, and my husband has been in a commission-based role for less than a year (the lender said you need 2 years of history for that).

Currently, I have a weekly check in with my current contractor, but alot of time it is a chasing game.

Your goal is to plant the idea in their mind and create a situation where selling to you feels like the easiest and most logical solution for them.If you haven’t already, the first step is to get pre-approved for a mortgage so you know what you could afford if you were to purchase the property conventionally.

I heard they removed it so that they could focus on making the website better first.

I didn't hire my first assistant until I had 150 doors under management.

He has opened his doors up to us before to his personal house and cares about people actually making it.I got my first BRRRR property completed last year as a direct result of me being in the Academy.
