As you begin to close deals, you will then start to really build your real buyers list.In real estate, when somebody doesn't have experience, bringing the "deal" is your most powerful weapon.

The driveway goes right up to the house and it feels like somebody is going to drive into the bedroom. 

However, after meeting with a friend who has real estate experience he mentioned that he predicts in about 12-18 months there will be a downturn of the market and an influx of foreclosures due to the pandemic forebearance.I now feel like our momentum and excitement has come to a screeching halt and I am unsure of whether or not to invest in this market.I understand long term the market works itself out, however, if I bought this multifamily unit on my current income, I cannot afford for the rental market to depreciate as well which is my fear.The mortgage would be about 4K.

If you feel they're being too harsh, think about their intent.

Please feel free provide your thoughts and advise.Thanks in Advance

I feel like starting with the golf simulator makes more sense and will help not only increasing nightly booking rates but also with occupancy as it is a unique attribute. 

Snagging a property way below market price feels amazing.

Analyze this with him and then 2) have him start bringing you properties that he has run numbers on, in a serious spreadsheet, have him sell you like he was your partner.When you think he's ready and has saved at least some money for a DP, help him get started with a little loan/gift.

  #1 with the mortgage company who is doing their 1st lien, to see what they will actually loan on $500,000 purchase price, #2 if they will allow 2nd to bring them up to $500,000 with no down payment

I’ve read the responses here and feel this post should be a learning opportunity.
