Sadly people think they can generate leads out of thin air, meaning the person they called wouldn't have realized they wanted to sell their home had not the wholesaler or investor hit them up to ask if they would be willing to.

It is older, but I think that might be a plus as properties will be cheaper, and people know it already.

The last lender I’ve tried to get a pre-approval had a, imo, patronizing response saying,”Although lots of people talk on social media about buying a three or four unit property with only 3.5% down in practice it almost never works.”All lenders who I’ve tried to give a pre-approval for has tried to sway me to switch to a 5% conventional instead.

@Jeremy H.It’s definitely high risk for people who have no experience running a business.If you don t know anything about managing and marketing STVRs stick to LTRs.

I like to see people succeed. 

I have long ways to go and people doing it much better than me but see how quickly engagement can grow.  

I have seen so many people make horrible decisions on some purchases.

No activity though.A lot of people tell me that I should obtain my Real estate license to convert our rentals from passive to active income, but I don't exactly understand how that will help.I'm not looking to be an active real estate agent, but was thinking of obtaining my license to become an associate agent to fulfill the hour requirements and just for fun.Is this the right path?

I wanted to connect with people to discuss lessons learned and how I can go about navigating the permit process with zoning/planning and the building department.
