That was before I got into real estate.

@Ken LivingstonRule number one for maximizing your income in real estate  is to not spend money that doesn’t earn you money unless you have to.  

This sounds real personal, Lashayle Dodson.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

This is a great place to learn and further investigate investing in real estate.

Also going to guess most of those listings are just "token listings" so the PMC or agent can tell their clients they have listed it on the MLS for maximum exposure, but either:1) Really don't want to share whatever amount they are charging the owner2) Have negotiated such a small amount with the owner that there's nothing to really share.It'll be interesting how this all changes with:1) NAR settlement on commissions2) Slowing real estate market with DOM increasing.

I am looking to be more active in real estate investing primarily in shorter term fix and flips. 

Even if you are losing $500 per month which is ideally less than you'd pay in rent AND you get the other benefits of owning real estate like appreciation, value add equity, and the tax benefits.  

That's the next type of real estate I want to purchase next! 

I'm looking to understand how forming a Real Estate Syndicate works and how to pitch and find investors once I find a deal that matches my criteria.
