I've heard of mentees that started out cleaning up construction areas on a flip at the end of each work day or picking up supplies at Home Depot and delivering them to the job site.

It sounds like they may not even have the capital to purchase and deliver materials (that’s when I’d usually agree to the first payment plus a lien release from the supplier).For timing, I’d lock it down.

Asking questions on the sponsor’s track record and background in real estate is paramount to ensuring what is presented is delivered.

Many OOS investors set themselves up for failure because they don't truly take the time to understand:1) The Class of the NEIGHBORHOOD they are buying in - which is relative to the overall area.2) The Class of the PROPERTY they are buying - which is relative to the overall area.3) The Class of the TENANT POOL the Neighborhood & Property will attract - which is relative to the overall area.4) The Class of the CONTRACTORS that will work on their Property, given the Neighborhood location - which is relative to the overall area.5) The Class of the PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANIES (PMC) that will manage their Property, given the Neighborhood location and the Tenants it will attract - which is relative to the overall area.6) That a Class X NEIGHBORHOOD will have mostly Class X PROPERTIES, which will only attract Class X TENANTS, CONTRACTORS AND PMCs and deliver Class X RESULTS.7) That OOS property Class rankings are often different than the Class ranking of the local market they live.8) Class A is relatively easy to manage, can even be DIY remote managed from another state.

It depends on the driver 😅.

I've closed dozens of deals with the Chicago Title office in Visalia and Jackie McKean has always delivered great service and communication.  

The owner of the land help me to my word....Now I have to execute and deliver my promise....LOL Lessons learned?

Look into Cleveland, its got good cashflow potential with appreciation happening as well.Looking for appreciation come to Columbus, there are still 1% deals, but the more attractive part is the population growth and other economic drivers!
