Afternoon 👋🏼, I’m currently learning about bigger pockets and real estate investing. I don’t know much, I’m a business owner who runs another business. Therefore I don’t have the time to fully be doing hands on real estate investing. My question is How do you get your foot in the door and really ...
I’m a new investor looking to start a brrrr rental portfolio through section 8. I’m curious as to what drives people away from properties. I’m mainly curious of the age of the home. How old is too old?
This slow market is showing us a fantastic opportunity to utilize FHA 203k loans. We are getting more and more bad inventory every day, homes that need paint, carpet, new kitchens, repaired decks, windows, you name it. Many buyers are scared of getting themselves into a money pit, and new investo...
Hey everyone, I'm relatively new to real estate investing and have been putting together an Excel calculator to analyze potential rental properties, primarily using the BRRRR strategy. I've based much of my calculator on Chapter 5 of Brandon Turner's The Book on Rental Property Investing, factori...

Hi everyone, I’m Joacim from Wellington, FL. I’m a serial entrepreneur getting started in real estate, looking for my first property to fix and flip or rent out. Ideally under $300k in South Florida, but open to other areas. I have time to put in the work and would love to connect with investor-f...
Rates finally slipped under 7% this morning, about 6.86% on the 30-year. First time in roughly seven weeks. That means the question I get on almost every offer right now is going to get even louder: should I ask the seller to cut the price, or ask them to pay to buy my rate down? Let's run it fro...
My husband and I put a lot or time and money into renovating a family owned property over the past year, intending to use it as a rental in the future. Meanwhile the home owner passed away in June and since then we learned that refinancing the property will not be possible now that I am the owner...
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 a young professional aspiring to enter the fix-and-flip market, I am encountering challenges in securing an investor. I am seeking someone interested in benefiting financially from my efforts, but have yet to find any takers. Could you provide any advice on how to attract potential investors?
Every week I meet someone who is about to make the biggest financial decision of their life — and they're doing it with almost no preparation. They've watched a few videos, skimmed a couple of listings, and they feel ready. Then the inspection report comes back, or the appraisal doesn't match the...
Selling a home is part strategy, part stamina — and showings are where the two meet. Once your home is on the market, every showing is a chance to turn a browser into a buyer, but it also means living in a home that is always 'ready.' Here is what I tell sellers before the first lockbox goes on. ...
What works best for making money when buying real estate? Bank Loan - Hard Money or Creative financing? Does Creative Financing work? Can you buy a $400,000 property for $25,000 down and take over a 4% interest loan with Creative financing? Should you use a Living Trust? The statement "when a own...
A lot of Columbus duplex listings say "do not disturb tenant," and the occupied side can only be seen after an accepted contract. That's normal, but it means part of the deal gets priced blind. Here's how I handle it on value-add 1-4 units: 1. Budget the unseen unit at the bigger number. If the v...
How do I finance a deal on the property that I’m trying to purchase from auction.com with auction.com won’t give access to the property for an appraisal? Is this possible to get done?
I love the Madison, WI market. I'm biased. I'm a realtor here and have a couple properties. I understand supply demand pretty well I think but I need help: I run numbers for many properties and so many of them don't pencil. I know there are other factors and reasons to buy a deal based on specifi...
Does anyone have recommendations for good investor networks, agents or other ways to connect with off-market buyers in Philadelphia? I have a single-family home I'd like to sell off-market and am exploring alternatives to a traditional MLS listing. Would love to hear what's worked for others!
Hello all Wanted to seek, what’s the best steps on having good tenant, and having a system/documentation in a contract between the property etc. Full rookie here. Thank You
What is your plan for financing your fix and flips or buying rentals? That seems to be what holds most people back. I'm aware of three options - our business really took off when to changed to the first option There are variations to all of these but in 30 years of flipping what I generally see a...
Been working heavily on the data and list-stacking side for off-market acquisitions lately, and a few clear patterns stood out when comparing contact rates and seller motivation: Single-filter lists are getting burned out fast: Pulling a basic "High-Equity" or "Absentee" list alone is giving way ...
I've seen this happen repeatedly in my 30 years of creative-financing experience. An investor finds a property with potential, negotiates a good price, and then walks away because traditional financing doesn't work. But what if the seller is willing to help finance the purchase? Here are three po...
What's the actual gap between when a deal closes and when you know your real margin on it? For a lot of people it's tax season. That gap is the whole problem with once-a-year books. If you're an active real estate business doing $300K+ a year or about $25K+ a month and want to compare notes on cl...

The best investor deals I have seen did not come from a cold listing alert. They came from a Realtor and an investor who actually understood how the other one works — and built a working relationship around that. Here is what that looks like in practice. First, the investor shares a real buy box,...
Self-storage is not passive income. Whoever sold it to you that way owes you an apology. It's passive right up until you're on the phone with a tenant who's 4 months behind, has about $300 of junk in his unit, and is threatening to sue you for $8 million. I recently made an offer on a facility I ...
