I’m not a realtor lover per say, but it is common for newbies to waste everybody’s time talking a good game. ( not saying that was you. )

They have 3 kids, 2 dogs, 2?

@Allen Motakef meet ups are a great way to build a network and start a community of people who love real estate 

They did mechanic work and left the driveway with car oil, dog poop on the lanai.

When you do not jump through the bank's hoops like a circus dog and you do not get the property the auction company will not give you back your deposit.

I can also say no to dog owners, even though I’m a dog lover and smoker.

Know that this is a dog eat dog industry.

In July 2019 my tenant requested to be allowed a dog in my condo.

Another thing most BRRR lovers don't consider is that commercial lenders (who you will have no choice but to use eventually if you really want to grow a substantial portfolio) will NOT refinance you after some short period of time at the property's market value if it means you're getting every dollar you invested back.

If other family members are really caring about you this doesn't really add up to me.As someone without a dog in the fight, I'm a big proponent of taking the long view and investing in your education.
