Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

Quote from @Jordan Ray: Quote from @Jamie Parker: This past weekend I was driving with my mom and daughter looking at properties in the Memphis Area.

Their most significant risk is an injury lawsuit that will either be dismissed or settled out of court by their insurance provider for well below the liability limits.If a mom-and-pop investor obeys the law and treats their tenants honestly, they'll never have to worry about asset protection beyond ordinary insurance and a small reserve. 

Operators tell me that the objection to the costs are from the children of the elder who don’t want mom to spend down her savings, fearing that she will run out of money and that there will not be any left to pass down to the kids.

Fourth, tenants tend to “try more stuff” with mom and pop landlords than property managers.

Small mom and pop rentals, is the world I have lived in and you can't get cashflow unless you put down 50% or so down in my area. 

Although I see many mom and pop landlords who thats all they do is run there 10 20 30 rentals and they are happy ..

The implication that anyone who pays for college education, or works at a 9 -5 job is stupid  Keep in mind it seems most guru's also lived in their moms garage and were broke until they found this super secrect system that they are now willing to share with you for the low low price of   :)

Housing is just one part of the equation—our model aims to reduce housing costs by lowering ownership costs over time.For example, many mom-and-pop landlords keep rents well below market rates (e.g., $600 vs. $1,200) because they aren’t forced into liquidation events that reset property values.

This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..
