fixing that credit problem is #1 if someone has no income, no cash, no experience, and bad credit, they will have to prove to the world they can fix these problems first.

I have had good experiences and bad experiences, sometimes with the same guy. 

I don't think a hard money loan is a bad idea..if the deal makes sense.

Either way, if you are getting more experience that will help you grow, a portion of a good deal is better than all of a bad deal.

Trulia is pretty bad at pulling up 6 units..

My problem is the layout is so bad that im afraid that it will kill the sale.

Read their reviews and if they have a bad one decline it.- if you can get a long term person in, ie: someone looking for a temporary place because they are moving or doing travel nursing etc, you will make more money, and save a lot of time doing clean up/turn over.- provide toiletries, menus from local restaurants for take out, some snacks etc.- place must be very clean

So any experiences y’all have had good or bad I’d like to hear.
