    Thanks!

    Hi Jennifer.

    Google Play is being fussy. Some people have not experienced any delays, while others can't get past Episode 295.

    Try uninstalling and re-installing Google Play. If that does not work, try to listen on Google Podcasts or another podcast app. We ARE producing and releasing new episodes every week and our podcast hosting company assures me we are uploading to Google Play properly. I'm sorry for your inconvenience.

    @Jennifer Joseph You should be able to download the Google Podcast app from the Play Store.  Just search "google podcast" in the play store and it will be one of the first results.  There are a few other podcast apps available through the store but if you're using Android, the Google app works very well.  Hope that's helpful.

    @Devin Gordon. You need to build a relationship with an attorney. If you have a closing attorney that you use for purchasing properties he may give you a copy of his for free. Mine did!

    @Ramsey Isabel Thanks. I have Google Play. I just cannot get any more podcasts to load. The most recent one is 295 and no more are showing up. Is there another app on my Samsung Phone where I can get the podcasts? I like to listen to them when I drive. 

    @Mindy Jensen Thanks Mindy. I've uninstalled and re-intstalled. No luck. Strange because it worked fine up until September. Any idea where else I can find it?

    @Brandon Turner

    I’ve looked a a fix and rent houses in an okay neighborhood. Extensive fix up that would yield a $300-$325k house and rents in the area are $1600/mo.

    I see a nearly new house in my very nice neighborhood at $310k and rents are ~$2400/mo.

    Between the 2 houses, the no brainer is buy the newer home with no fix up and be happy...

    I’m a newbie, and thinking $300 is a lot for a rental. However ,I live near a few military bases. I believe the rental market is strong and likely will always be strong. Am I thinking correctly?

    Hi! What are some success/failure stories from doing your own research and skipping the real estate agent? Is it worth it to save that 3%? (Especially when prices are high in my area. 3% is a lot!)

    What are the most important things to research if you decide to buy without a real estate agent?

    Thanks so much, love the show!

    I personally use Podcast Addict, but I have friends who use CastBox and like it, too.

    Did my first deal last year as a house hack on a duplex. Now I want to use that cashflow for marketing to find flips. I've created my LLC and my InvestorCarrot website is up. So now, what do you say is the best use or strategy of my monthly $500 marketing funds?...

    @Brandon Turner There's a lot of noise in Software Applications and finding the right data to go after. I'd like to understand some of the best Software Stack's people are using to run their business. Specifically, in lead generation & lead follow up / drip campaigns.

    @Brandon Turner and @David Greene - You guys are a huge inspiration! We started investing in buy-and-hold multifamily properties in Maine in 2015 largely because of BiggerPockets.  In a very short amount of time since then, and on fairly modest salaries, my wife and I have achieved Level 1 Financial Freedom for our family of four.

    Brandon - What are the Top 3 Lessons you've learned from real estate that you want to teach Rosie?

    David - I can't seem to find any good advice about health insurance for people without an employer-sponsored plan.  Does the Hack Master have any good insurance hacks to share?

    You guys are awesome!

    What are the best was to find financing? I think all investors hit this point in their career where they have depleted capital and only 1, 2, or 3 deals and that’s it. Lack of experience and lack of financing. What’s the best way to scale from that position?

    Do I have to register my LLC in every state that I purchase real estate or have a real estate transaction (Assign/Wholesale).

    @Brandon Turner and @David Greene - Not so much a question as it is a topic suggestion.  I would love to hear more about small commercial real estate (non-residential).  Retail, industrial, medical, etc.   I'd guess 80-90% of BiggerPockets is about residential, yet in the world of investing commercial is a much larger percent.

    @David Greene

    love all the podcasts and content, amazing job you guys keep it coming, i listen all the time. My question is to you how do i find a good location to invest before the frenzy of investors has already moved in and bought everything up and jacked the prices up on sfr/small multifamily etc. I guess how do i find a hot market before its hot and the word gets out?

    or do you not look at it that way and just use a local trusted PM or Agent to find good numbers on properties in a given area and then compare, population, job growth and income growth and then pull the trigger.
