Sadly, in those cases, sharing my knowledge and experience might not be enough indeed.

While I look & wait for the next house hacking opportunity , I've identified identified Value add as the long term strategy I’m most interested in.I am looking to get started with Fix & Flips and also BRRRR to get experience with Rehabs with a focus on using OPM.

In my experience, if they have not requested the accommodation and your state doesn't require you to accept payments on security deposit, I would not let anyone move in or sign a lease without full security deposit, rent and any other costs paid up front in certified funds.

Glad to hear from someone with firsthand experience.

you are not alone nor dumb, i read an American study that 40% of home flippers lose or only break even on their projects. please talk to an attorney with bankruptcy and real estate experience before filing as could have long term complications.

I am looking for an agent who has experience with working with investors and who knows the area well (rents, desirable areas vs. undesirable areas, etc).

I don't claim to have a crystal ball to give a time frame, but I think in the next 7 years we should experience a better market (at least to some degree), giving you a chance to refinance into lower rates if you wish.No point in locking in a 30-year fixed when the rates aren't incredible to begin with.

. :) All the more reason to require them to have the experience of at least 1 transaction under their belt.

It is much more important to get to know what a PM's experience is, how many years they have been managing properties, are they also an investor, what types of owners they work with, how many total units they manage, what their largest property is, what class of properties do they manage, how do they handle tenant communication, maintenance requests, expenses, do manage commercial or residential, and what type of software they use.Just some advise from a seasoned investor and property manager, The First Question That You Shouldn't Ask is, How much do you charge?

I am unclear why you would need the majority of the stuff you listed out - but that's just my opinion on it from personal experience.
