Affinity NMLS Exam Prep Crash CourseDoes Sharon Butler still offer a crash course?

Quote from @Torrean Edwards: Early in my investing career, I had some success, but then the crash happened.

Your comment does bias me slightly in favor of Indy, since at least we're talking about a manageable car ride.That said, I'd love to know the biggest mistakes you've seen - how do neophytes typically "crash and burn?"

Even if buying a property Subto in GA and you live in FL, you could miss something and the whole deal does a "crash and burn".

From a leaky roof to a backyard jungle, it was a crash course in problem-solving and patience.I bought it for $145,000, powered through the chaos with a hard money loan, and sold it for $180,000.

The crash caused significant structural damage, and the driver fled the scene, later reporting the vehicle stolen.

Stockton,CA had the most foreclosures in the US, after the housing crash.

Due to 21 and 22s boom in MTR/STRs in Eado/Third Ward, this was flashing all types of crashing signs and you dove head in first. 

But honestly I don't care how many courses you take you must have a local team or you will crash and burn.

I know of no RE investor that had RE before the crash that did not exit that would agree with your statement including this investor.
