Hello, I am a new real estate investor based in Georgia, looking to get started in the fix-and-flip business. I am seeking guidance and mentorship from experienced real estate professionals who can help me identify good investment opportunities, evaluate potential deals, and connect with reliable...
We purchased our first home in 2020 and are now planning to keep it as a rental while purchasing a duplex to owner-occupy and house hack for at least a year. I’m trying to figure out the best order of operations. How did you handle the transition, navigate city rental requirements, and avoid carr...
I am very new to real estate, and I just learned that a ‘hard money’ loan for a house flip could cost me thousands a month in interest. When starting out without paying cash, do people just eat the interest and flip it as fast as possible? Or is private lending really the next best option in this...
I am a new investor located in NC area and am starting off with very little capital. I am looking for primary single family homes or smaller multi family and I have come to understand that in the NC market, the prices are very high and deals are much more difficult to cash flow so I am turning to...
This year, I think the most advantageous real estate investing strategy has been acquiring a short term rental for bonus depreciation. With high interest rates, and low cash flow spreads, investing in long term buy and hold rental properties seems to be not worth it. I think the trend will contin...
Hey Everyone, My name is Bryan I’m 20, I stay in the triangle area, and currently in the pre-approval process for my first home. I know prices are high right now, especially in Durham, and I’m not going to pretend that makes this easy. But I’d rather start learning and looking now than wait and h...
A few STR owners have reached out to me lately about switching to a 30-day-minimum hybrid. Sometimes that's the right call. But there's a question I think a lot of owners skip: should this property just go back to a long-term lease? Full disclosure: I co-host STRs for other owners, and most of my...

I got burned trusting one number. An online estimate said $263K on a house I was looking at. County records said $196K. Sold comps backed the county number. Now I check value three ways before I take it seriously: 1. Sold comps — last 6 months, within about a mile, similar size and age. 2. County...
Hello BP community! I’m thinking about getting started in real estate investing through house hacking, and my wife is fully on board with the idea. We’re looking at San Diego and would ideally like to purchase a triplex or fourplex using a VA loan, live in one unit, and rent out the others. We bo...
We run 236 doors in Memphis, mostly single-family, heavy Section 8, and one habit saves us more arguments than almost anything else: photos at move-in and move-out, done the same way every time. Same rooms, same angles, both times. Exterior, every room, appliances, floors, walls, fixtures, and th...
Hey everyone, I’m potentially moving out to the Philly area for work. Looking to house hack in the area hopefully within 30-45 mins of the PHL airport. Would appreciate any advice on this market as I’m unfamiliar with the area. Thank you.
Hey Folks, Just finished closing on 2 properties with Loan Guys, and I already feel like I should shower! They refused to provide disclosure forms after multiple requests, Would not tell me the PITI on the loan, Didn't disclose lender fees until closing and literally snuck in a junk fee on the mo...
New to Birmingham investing! Looking for high-cash-flow rentals under $70K and trying to identify the better blocks and hidden pockets within neighborhoods. I've been pointed toward Ensley, Fairfield, and West End. Any thoughts on these areas? Any recommendations for investor-friendly brokers, sp...
As investors build equity in their properties, refinancing can become something worth evaluating. But having equity doesn't automatically mean refinancing is the right move. Closing costs, interest rates, repayment terms, cash flow, and the intended use of any available equity all deserve conside...
I've been talking to quite a few investors lately who have equity tied up in their properties but need access to cash for one reason or another. Just wanted to throw this out there because I don't think everyone realizes the different options available. You can do a cash out refinance BUT if you'...
When does refinancing an investment property become worth exploring? For some investors, the goal is accessing available equity; for others, it's restructuring debt or potentially funding another acquisition. What factors would you weigh before deciding to refinance?
I'm working with an investor who has a 681 credit score but he has an EIDL Covid loan that has been charged off. Can he get a DSCR loan?
Hello, I currently live in California and have decided to invest out-of-state since California seems way too unaffordable. I am inclined to buy multi-family properties, but I'm also open to single-family properties, and I am primarily looking for cash flow. I have been looking at Cleveland, Ohio—...
Say you buy a rental with a tenant already in place — lease has months left to run, rent is below market. The property is rented from day one, so placed-in-service timing is straightforward. But does the in-place lease change the cost seg study itself? My read is that the study is about the physi...
Question for co-hosts and small managers. When a guest refund, resolution payment or fee adjustment shows up after you've already sent the owner their monthly statement, what do you do? Do you reopen and resend that month, or carry it onto next month's statement with a note? And how do you explai...
I have been working through a structure I call the DSCR Stack, and I wanted to share the numbers because the math is what makes it interesting. It is two layers. About 70% senior financing — a DSCR loan — and about 30% seller financing. On a $265,000 example: the senior layer is $185,500 and the ...
Hi everyone, I currently self manage my rentals. The management portion is not that bad but finding maintenance is very challenging. I have used property managers in the past and their maintenance people cost a lot. Finding local maintenance personnel has been very challenging. What have you done...
