@Daniel Cacho I’m 35 years old, have been in the game for over a decade, own 26 doors, run a property management company with 350+ units, and operate a realty brokerage with a small team of agents.

@Philip Beckwith many times, but have also lost a few times.You pick your battles.

We rarely have issues, but it seems like such a small investment in time and money to take one day to verify. 

Denver is very expensive for a new guy who doesn't have loads of capital so a market like Missouri for example is intriguing for far cheaper real estate but then Id either have to move, improve the property remotely or simply buy and hold as a rental for X time. 

That's a decision you have to make. 

Maybe there's an angle for seller financing or some other creative approach to get the seller the total return they want over time, but it's hard to say without actual facts and data.

However, a good real estate accountant is worth what you pay them because they will save you time and money. 

Review their management agreement.

Far more than most real estate acitivies and much quicker think about it.. you sell the same info over and over and get paid instantly you have no roofs to fix no tenants to manage etc etc.. you do have reputation management of course.

While time consuming, I did learn a lot and was within $2,000 of my initial budget.
