There are plenty of investors out there with enough money who struggle to find deals.

However, we are struggling to find the right loan for us because of my parent's low W2 income on the last two years of tax returns.How should someone like me move forward?

When the rest of the nation is struggling to not be cash flow negative we have the best price/roi/location balance$80-$130k buy$1200-$1500 rentDouble digit ROI$200-$350 monthly cash flow C and B- locationsTough to beat.

I am struggling to rent the commercial shops, but am turning the main office into a nice AIR BnB house on the river. 

The goal would be for my family to live on the property and add value over time (via updating, subdividing, additional dwellings) but I'm struggling with how to configure a deal with investment partners on a deal like this if their money is tied up until there is a refi or we sell the property.

The people who aren't cut out for it struggle in anything they choose.You won't find a unicorn strategy that has no risk, ample returns, doesn't take a lot of time, and is easy.

If so, what were some struggles you encountered while building the business, and how did you overcome them?

Hey Marian,I appreciate you taking the time to read my post and asking a great question.I’ll try to keep my response short but I may struggle as I am very passionate about this topic.There are several reasons why we decided to be 100% independent over partnering with eXp, but here are the main 3:1. 100% ownership Probably the most important reason being the financial benefits of being independent and owning the company.eXp did it best with their model of being one brokerage per State and claiming all the revenue, opposed to competitors like ReMax who can only earn Franchise Fees and Royalties based on their model (also shows the difference in valuation despite agent count).That being said, cloud brokerages clearly have the advantage of earning a very high valuation relative to Franchises based brokerages.

I’m currently struggling on how to fill documents for syndication, especially when it comes to making sure it will be compliant for tax purposes come early 2023.  

But through that struggle is a piece of what motivates me to stand up and fight to educate my people.
