Before we got prequalified I had a long conversation with our lender about our plan, which is basically to follow the BRRRR method.

So it is like a car transaction in terms of title.But based on the integrity of the numbers involved it should be treated like a real estate transaction.

One mistake I made due to having enough money to spare when first starting: My chosen marketing method for getting motivated seller leads was direct mail, and I spent a small fortune on that without really tracking and evaluating the marketing ROI, tweaking accordingly, and trying a different version.

Networking, investor meetings, helping people.If you create value for someone, they'll create value for youBut I shouldn't lie:  doing the closings and being involved in that way probably shows me a lot of them

I agree with Sam Shueh , and his method of having someone else list the property.

Where I can find those tax amounts from an independent source (read: not involved in the RE transaction) in order to analyze the deal?

only you would be able to decide that , everyone has different levels of involvement and different means of "justifying"...

Why not involve them from the beginning?

I feel like everyone now a days are mentoring just to add income to theirself not really to think anyone else methods .

I have no plans on getting involved on the sales side.
