They may as well be trying to re-sell boxes of detergent out the back fo their vans (assuming they're old enough to get a drivers license much less a RE license).You sound smart, just promise you'll learn to do things the right way and not rely on subterfuge. 

So, for this forum post, I speak about passive investors as those that are looking to limit their role to oversight of the people or companies they are relying on for their success.And, I am going to focus heavily on the turnkey niche, since it is one of the most popular topics here on the BiggerPockets forums and the word is so heavily used that in many ways it has lost its meaning.

Do you have a full-time W2 income that helped during the refi process or did the bank soley rely upon the property's rental income?

Of course within any investment thesis there must be many 'assumptions' made about future values, economics, etc.If someone has a successful track record before 2019, but has not bought in this new low interest, hyper Cap rate compression market...is it fair to rely on their past track record to justify future success?

Your agent likely has a number of clients and is very busy, so if you rely solely on your agent great deals will inevitably fall through the cracks.Just my two cents.

My wife and I both have our own strengths in this business and relying on each other has definitely helped us to close on some great deals.We primarily focus on multifamily and own some properties in the Hampton roads area.

I considered myself still inexperienced so I relied on a realtor to show and find me these deals.

One thig to keep in mind with some areas you sent (i.e) Lakeland, Revierview and other parts of Tampa is that they rely heavily on CDD's (Community Development District) which unlike regular HOA they get rolled into your annual tax bill.

Something like, you didn't pass our credit score requirements.Also make sure it sounds like you're relying on the screening company.Too many tenant lawyers can make an unintentional slip of the tongue = $$$
