Just when I thought I had all the aspects of raising private money figured out, I get slapped across the face with a new lesson. I suppose I deserved the slap across the face given I got overconfident in thinking I had “learned-it-all”. This lesson didn’t come in the form of a sales technique or anything of [...]

Having great “go-to” resources is one of the key components you need to have set-up in your real estate investing business. Whether that be resources for getting a house fixed up, sold, or financed, they’re all important. The other resource you’ll need is education.

Making an offer: it’s hard to be a real estate investor without doing this. There are a multitude of articles, blogs, videos, guru courses, etc. available about strategies of making offers. While I like some of the strategies, and find others just ridiculous, I have my own method of madness when I buckle up my [...]

The saying is pretty popular, “Never judge a book by it’s cover.” I personally had to apply this bit of wisdom to a real estate investment project not too long ago. I already wrote about this project in a previous BiggerPockets article which you can read here, but that article only focused on the plumbing problem aspect of [...]

We all enjoy gifts and/or people that “keep-on-giving”; however, in some instances, we want it to be done with as soon as possible. Unfortunately for me, I recently experienced an unfavorable “gift” that just refused to stop giving! My goal with this article is that you as a newer real estate investor can use this real life [...]

We’ve all seen it. It’s something that is almost a certainty you’ll see in any real estate guru’s video or website. The image of a person relaxing on the beach with a cocktail in hand watching the sun set on some foreign island. The context of the image is “buy the course and our strategy [...]

Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Envision this. You create or find a deal analysis spreadsheet for your real estate deal that is set up to function perfectly. You absolutely NAIL the after-repair-value (ARV) of the home. You absolutely NAIL the rehab budget. On top of both of these things, you bought the property [...]

Say it as a kid, you get some soap shoved into your mouth. Say it multiple times in a script, you get a ‘R’ rating slapped onto your movie. Say it on a normal basis in your day-to-day conversations, people question your vocabulary. Similar to “that” ‘F-word’, the ‘F-word’ for real estate is one that [...]

Last week I wrote an article on real estate investing website marketing that talked about how important a website is to not only your ongoing market efforts (remember, a website markets for you even when you are sleeping or out on vacation), but also the first impression you make on potential customers/clients.

Before I get started, I need to give credit where credit is due. A fellow BiggerPockets blogger, Ali Boone, left a comment in one of my other articles that sparked the idea to write about this topic. She made an excellent point, and my goal with this article is to expand upon it and hopefully [...]
