Account ClosedI am at a office in michigan that's where i had signed up at kw this winter and got my sales license because i was thinking of doing some investing in the future in michigan. i am at a different  company in chicago since this is where i started but KW has great training i believe there is a KW nearby in o'hare area which might be a closer drive if i remember you can go to the training at other offices as well i could be wrong though.

Please correct where I am wrong or overlooking something.1.

By the way, I'm a newbie investor, so please forgive me if I'm thinking about this all wrong!

@Joe HenryCorrect me if I am wrong but are you subtracting your principle payment from income to get NOI? 

It is great when things go wrong on your first deal and you can still make money. 

You never know what is right.There is a right way, a wrong way, and an illegal way to wholesale.

Something always go wrong. bad tenants, maintenace problems, tenants fights between other tenants.

Makes no sense to me :)Secondly, tenant screening is where most self managed investors go wrong.

Here's something to think about with real estate say you put $40,000 of your own money into $100,000 property you have the potential to lose 100,000 on the property if something should go very wrong whereas with index funds are mutual funds if you put 40,000 in the most you can lose is 40,000 but in index funds are mutual funds if you keep it in there for a long period of time they will grow due to compound interest and due to the fact that the SMP has returned 11% overage history

I get it... some people are dumb and might end up accidentally blocking their vacation rental when they have a dentist appointment or something if they sync the wrong calender.
