Learn the beginner's mistakes to avoid. Is setting up a real estate LLC even worth it? Learn how to build the right credit score for a mortgage loan, including why you actually don’t want a score over 800. If a cash flowing property is so great, why would anyone sell it to you? I outline a myriad of reasons. Should you make a lowball offer to a real estate seller? Learn negotiation techniques. Earnest money procedures are covered. The real estate buying process is slow. From the time that you make the offer, it can often take over 30 days to close the deal. Once your offer is accepted, I recommend a professional third party inspection. It can cost you $300 to $500 for a single-family income property up to $1,000 for a fourplex inspection. I cover property appraisals and how they verify the quality of the bank’s collateral. Learn how to get a good feel for your property manager and what their duties are.  I discuss the Management Agreement between you and your manager. Be sure to tell your insurance provider that this is a rental property, not your primary residence. A mobile notary meets you at your home, workplace, airport, or even a restaurant in order to complete the paper-and-ink closing process. This wraps up the deal.

Hi, I’m your host Keith Weinhold.   We’re talking about how to get into long-term buy & hold RE investing - and that’s because it’s the most generationally-proven way to build wealth.   First, let’s talk about a couple of the biggest mistakes that real estate investors make - it’s being invested in only one geographic market.
