Here’s a more polished version of your message:Hello BiggerPockets community,A close friend has been encouraging me to get into real estate investing for years.

You can also find various contracts online, develop your own then have an attorney review it to ensure it has teeth, and is legal in your area.7.

Here’s how you can stay informed and ensure your rental properties meet all legal requirements.1.

Account Closed Thanks for the feedback.

•Work with lenders that roll fees into closing costs(some hard money lenders do this).

Everyone else is transaction based and walks away with the commission when the deals closed.

If you want them to leave, provide them legal notice to leave.

You’ll sign a piece of paper at closing saying you plan to live there ], usually within 30-60 days.

Account Closed that's not the case as long as you live in it as your primary residence for 12 months.

Just looking for alternatives besides public REIT's like Essex ESS which was the highest returning publicly traded REIT from 1994 until 2020 averaging around 17% (I don't have the exact number but it's close) and Prologis PLD.
