@Rich Dowdall I'd be open to learning from a vet - RE is fascinating to me, seems the hardest part is getting started (not letting your first deal sink you)

Additionally, the seller won’t provide the financials, so how do you know it’s any kind of “deal”.  

I wasn’t so sure how much of the headache I really wanted to deal with.

If the deal is too good to be true, stay way.

We've seen seller financing come back in a big way, and I think it will continue as debt continues to be challenging.Syndication, raising capital for less experienced operators, and those who have challenging deals, will be more difficult in this part of the cycle.What tools/strategies are you using to close deals today?

Will not having the correct reserves to deal with 100 year old repair costs potentially cripple your portfolio for a couple years?

Cash invested: $80,000 Househack with roommates and airbnb What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

FHA and VA are government agencies and will have access to all of the applicants personal and financial information.

Like @Theresa Harris said, the electrical costs alone could be a deal-breaker.

I want to do bigger deals now - something commercial.
