Not that I don’t enjoy dealing with tenants, maintenance, lawn care, Home Depot and Lowe’s trips and tenant change overs (I recently put new carpets, kitchen floor, appliances, vanity and mirror in the bathroom and fresh paint in my upstairs unit).

maybe you and your husband can trade off making trips there to build a network in person? 

Also, there’s much to delve into on of those scenarios, like what type of cashflow or investment do you want, etc. residential, multi-res, small multi-res, commercial, industrial, etc.There seems to be fewer deals around these days and this typically benefits the more experienced and skilled investors but there are always multiple investors that get “tripped-up” in these markets due to them relying on recent “fortunate” market circumstances only to realize the markets cycle and they weren’t prepared or didn’t underwrite properly to account for unforeseen potential.There are more considerations, but this is a start.

Bad customer service (from the partners), unprofessional client information management, ridiculously long underwriting, and I’ll add this..a low-key throwing of their loan officer under the bus for information “he did not know” or “must have been mistaken” about.

Taking a trip or asking an expert is a good way to go. 

I took the time to check out his site as i was curious.. and its a mastermind.. what i think could add value is that the frequency is there to keep someone on track.. the mastermind i went to is just quarterly then you hook up on facebook and facebook is basically showing all the members and their wives on the latest and greatest world trip they took or the building they just bought.. not a lot of real help for someone trying to get from here to there.. i think in that group most of them had on going business's like myself and there is fine tuning being done IE how to run a staff how to implimnet VA's how to run your sales crews .. other types of marketing ideas and tips.. this one looked to be not quite as real estate centric but I could be wrong as he had to add in passive income which of course is the buzz word for most who think that is what is going to create a better life for them ..  

But we looked a little more closely at real estate this trip.  

@Summer Shelton yes, FHA loans do allow this but make sure you speak with your lender about some of the trip ups from these loans.  

Quote from @Don Miller: Quote from @Kristi Kandel: Quote from @Don Miller: We took a trip to Cape Coral last week.The area seems to be getting back to routine. 

If you're not sure, do a road trip across the state, visit some of these areas and see what 'vibe' fits with you more.
