@Ryan Daulton,You don't have to buy a house in SDIRA without a loan; you can easily get a loan, but it must be non-recourse.

I was to purchase a house in NC, but due to some information that was not disclosed about the house, we decided not to buy it.I will be getting my due diligence  money back and asked for money back for inspections but seller refused.  

So same thing as an agent pick a technique and stick to it.Myself personally when I started as an agent I did not do follow up like I should have but what i did do was become a CLOSESR  If i got in front of them my success rate was very high so thats where I put my energy and my moto was next..If I could not close them first meeting I moved on the next. 

I’ve had a few “Gurus” personally try to recruit me into $20K+/year mentorships at networking events, along with paid workshops and masterminds.

@Marcus Stokescan you start with a live-in flip or house hack instead?

When so many renters stopped paying rent during COVID, companies like SureVestor stopped taking new accounts because they were facing a significant number of claimes.I personally don't see it as a good solution.

They also tend to offer good cash flow relative to their cost, especially in areas with high demand for affordable housing.

the midwest has lower price points than other areas of the US, sure, but it also comes with its own challenges - for example, very old housing stock, lots of deferred maintenance, and tremendous demand for the best properties."

Obviously tough to give advice based on minimal info and no info on your personal situation.
