They are a huge part of my overall business/REI plan...and a key component to what I teach...but, like any type of REI, you have to know how to analyze...and in this case what to analyze.

From there I learned about buy and hold properties, and as I've been learning I discovered Biggerpockets which is an insanely great site and community.My network is growing -- I have a great coach, a RE agent and a terrific RE attorney.  

@Jess Black I just discovered REscour last week!

And usually, even with states that do reciprocate, there will be a state law component to the course work requirements.

Property roughly worth $130K had improvements made to it that were not inspected and therefore after a home inspection (for the purposes of selling the home) it was discovered that there are 100's of violations that would be cost prohibitive to fix, in order to get rid of the house/liabilty.

Since I have discovered BP, I have been really impressed with all the information shared.  

It is up to you to discover them.

I've written an entire book about this and continue to discover even more ways every month.But if you managed  several properties, I'd think your ability to reduce an owners' expenses and share in the savings as a winning value proposition.

Isn't it nice to discover you're  not alone?

So many factors are at play.Net worth is a component but it tends to be iliquid.Someone buying a 4 million property putting 1 million down but has net worth of 3 million and 2 million is liquid still looks pretty good.
