I started my career in restaurants backwards, I opened a bar and restaurant at 27 with no experience and ended up losing roughly 350k after about a year being open.

I think you should focus on the EXPERIENCE you can deliver.  

Anyone have any experience with the Deal Flow Course?

yes, i knew the work part. just wanted to understand the staying in it even if paying full price. not a deal breaker for me, just need to figure out where to roll my money into to use it The IRS says you cannot get personal benefit from the investments.

That is a very devastating position to be in.Before you sign anything, have an attorney look over the agreement and explain it to you.You want to ask the "buyer", "what is the name of the person that will take title",(if they are not taking it into their name or entity, it is a wholesaler.

I'm curious to learn more about the experiences and outcomes of using this approach compared to short-term and long-term rentals.I’d love to understand which strategy might work best for me.

In this case, as long as the person is making all payments as they are supposed to. 

@Nima MalboubiI personally think that the risk is relatively low with only four units.

Sounds like a pretty normal Section 8 experience to me.

When we sent them our lease to review, they backed out saying we asked a lot of personal questions during the background check and after looking at the lease we should consider what kind of landlords we want to be.
