Interested in hearing what others think

To get into real estate investing at a young age with strong credit, think about plans like living in one part while renting the rest, making friends in the field, beginning with bite-sized properties, using savings and credit well, and eyeing areas that might grow.

Could be 1 of 2 things: either you think they're great deals but they're really not OR they are great deals and these sponsors are going around you to get the deal directly.

I personally wouldn't entertain the gift option as I think its an unnecessary step and it can take significantly longer. 

I would think this to be very difficult..

I think that search is useful only when PRO..for me it shows no value as I am not a pro

Think first who will give up this great benefit? 

Then the contractor who did the install will say 'That's not my fault, they broke one of the lines' or 'it's a POS system from Amazon what did you expect, call the manufacturer', or 'I just installed it, I didn't warranty it', etc (especially if the tenant bought it and the contractor is just installing it)My thinking is if the owner approves/recommends the contractor to do the work, it's then their responsibility to make sure it's done right, and their liability thereafter because it's their property after all.

After searching his name, it turns out he was the developer of the neighborhood.I was able to locate the release of mortgage from when he sold the lot to the builder, so it seems to me that this is a mistake.

I don't think you are clear on wholesaling as a business.
