These things do happen, but the net positives of investing in real estate lead to powerful wealth creation that a 9-5 doesn’t provide. 

Some are basically renting out bed space and require tenants to sign an agreement to stay clean, and be tested upon request, with failing the test potentially leading to immediate eviction.

I got 4 SFHs this year in 3 states that meet or slightly exceed the 1% rule because I took on a problem the sellers did not want to deal with (clean up hoarder house, tenant eviction, etc).

I'd still do a land trust again in the future, but I'd be sure the ownership structure was nice and clean without mixed entities and SDIRAs in the mix. 

I think taking advantage of low downpayments and using very high leverage is incredibly powerful it makes your return so much bigger.

Normally, my team handles cold calling and texting, but recently, we started using an AI-powered texting solution from a startup called Adforce, and the results have exceeded our expectations.In just the first month, we closed two deals that gave us a positive return on investment, effectively covering the cost of the service for the entire year.

This is probably the most up to date information you can get, you can get the data cleaned, formatted and skiptraced for pretty cheap using some new comers like GoliathData. 

With four plex you have to pay utilities for the hallway and common areas, also maintain and clean the common areas, because the tenants won''t.

So there are now 20+ people to connect with in order to get a clean marketable title, (none of these existing family members have any idea of the property even existing).

I am new to RE investing, and hoping to tap the collective power of this awesome group in starting my RE journey.
