Strategy is the bigger plan as to how you plan to achieve a certain objective and an ultimate goal; tactics are the methods and techniques that you'll employ after you've started.

Agents may also include a broker’s open, broker’s caravan, and other marketing techniques to create a buzz even before listing it on the MLS.

So my first question is, is this tailor-made exit strategy thing doable at the very beginning?

I am leaning towards trying this marketing technique.

But it's so interesting to learn all these different techniques in acquiring a deal.Thanks Brian!

I am interested investing using wholesaling technique to get started. 

Some syndicators have a 3-5 year business plan where they want to get in the deal add value through whatever value add techniques they’ve planned on executing and then disposing of the deal once renovations and deferred maintenance and the value of the property has gone up.

If you hold the properties in your personal name, you can get Fannie Mae financing up to 10 financed properties unless you know more advanced techniques to go beyond 10.

I think you have to be careful about some techniques you hear about because they are basically fraud and deception.

Maybe there are some techniques there but every lender I’ve ever talked to wants me to have skin (read: money) in the game.
