★☆☆☆☆ — Absolutely Unacceptable Conduct From SLA Capital's Ownership I've been in business long enough to understand that not every financing request meets a lender's underwriting guidelines. A simple, professional decline is perfectly acceptable. What isn't acceptable is arrogance, ridicule, and...
For those investing in real estate, I'm curious about something. Do you currently use a real estate management tool to track your properties, analyze potential deals, monitor expenses, and calculate profitability? Or do you prefer using Excel or Google Sheets to manage everything? I'm interested ...
Spent the weekend pulling the sold record around Southwest Baltimore (21223). **The block has two prices.** Shells on Gilmor, Catherine, and Wilkens keep trading at land value. 528 S Catherine St sold for $22,500 in March 2026. 530 N Carrollton Ave went for $50,000 in April 2025. 3134 Wilkens Ave...
Hi everyone—I’m based in Western North Carolina and have spent about 20 years in construction. I own rental properties and am exploring land flipping as another way to build income. I’ve been learning about The Land Geek approach and would appreciate connecting with someone who has firsthand expe...
A couple of months ago, I posted here about tokenized real estate, but I wanted to bring it up again and hear from more people in the community. The basic idea is that ownership interests in a real estate investment can be represented by digital tokens instead of being tracked through traditional...
Everyone asks me what I spend on a rehab. Here's a real $40K breakdown on a typical Memphis single-family — buy under $100K, ARV $180K–$265K: Roof — $6,500. If it leaks, nothing else matters. I price a full tear-off, not patching. HVAC — $5,000. New system, sized right. A dying compressor will ki...
Rochester, NY is down to about one month of inventory right now. Homes are going under contract in about three weeks, and it's one of the hottest markets in the country. Meanwhile, many other markets are sitting on months of inventory, and sellers are cutting prices just to get a showing. So whic...
I've done DSCR loans across 236 doors, and here's what nobody told me before my first one: 1. The ratio matters more than the rate. I buy single-family under $100K, rehab to an ARV of $180K–$265K, and refi at 70–80% LTV. If the rent covers the payment at 1.25x, the loan gets done. My Section 8 re...
This catches a lot of investors off guard. Rental losses don’t automatically offset your W-2 income. Depending on your income and circumstances, some losses may have to carry forward to future years. Have you ever had rental losses you couldn’t deduct that year? YES or NO?
When researching potential real estate deals, how do you make sure you have accurate and up-to-date property information before moving forward? I’m curious how other real estate investors handle property and ownership research, especially when working with off-market, vacant, tax-delinquent, or d...
I've noticed something about myself that I don't particularly like. When somebody tells me, "Absolutely. No problem. We do this all the time," I immediately feel better. When somebody says, "I think we can do it, but let me check a few things first," I start having doubts. Which is strange, becau...
Hi all, Rob here, a Louisville agent. In October 1981, the average 30-year mortgage rate hit 18.63%. Eighteen percent. And homes still sold. About 60% of existing home sales in 1981 used creative financing, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. Buyers took over the seller's loan...
I’m curious how other investors think about this... I hear people say, “I want to get to $5K a month in cash flow,” and then start doing the math based on how many properties they need. $500 a month per property = 10 properties. As we all know, a property you just bought usually isn’t going to pe...
It seems to come in waves the fake lenders hitting you up on the PM system. lately the fake ones have upped their game through the years many posts on NOT to pay any up front fee so the fake lenders have switched to NO up front fee Until fully approved. So they will string you along give you a fu...
Hello everyone, I’m George Carver with Key Rental Solution (KRS). We are actively expanding our multi-family acquisition pipeline across North Carolina growth markets (such as Fayetteville). As an emerging sponsor scaling into larger multi-family assets, we are looking to build long-term, strateg...
Curious to get the community's perspective on paying down rental debt vs redeploying cash flow. I ran the numbers on a $400,000 30-year fixed loan at 6.75%: Adding just $200/month in extra principal curtailment: • Eliminates $103,280 in total interest paid. • Shaves 5 Years and 4 Months off the l...
Shovel-ready teardown opportunity in Houston with $850k ARV. Seeking an equity partner for small closing capital requirement in exchange for a 50/50 JV split. Zero debt/interest service.
Hey everyone! Wanted to provide a quick update since my last post. We’ve now spoken with three lenders and three real estate agents, all of whom have been fantastic! We’ve been prequalified for up to $750K, with options ranging from single-family homes to multifamily properties (duplexes to quadp...
I’m organizing a small network of active investors for off-market opportunities. If you are currently buying, comment or message me with your preferred ZIP codes, property type, price range, strategy, and normal closing timeline. I’m especially interested in active fix-and-flip, rental, and distr...
After about 4 years of going all in on investing in real estate, I have tried regular buy and hold, BRRRR, and house hacking in multiple markets, and I can now say that they all SUCK. I started out getting hyped by all the BP books and went through any information I could get my hands on to make ...
Hi everyone. I am a licensed contractor that focuses mainly on room additions and ADU's. Let me know you anyone has questions or is currently looking a licensed contractor. I would love to help!
I have an opportunity to purchase a rental property from an uncle of mine in a market several hours away from me. The property strays far away from my buy box. This typically isn't an issue for me to pass on but what keeps bringing me back is the amount my uncle is willing to sell it to me for. I...
I was talking with an investor about a potential acquisition recently, and the conversation wasn't really about rate. It was about cash. He could make the deal work with more money down, but his concern was simple: "I can put more cash into this one, but then I have less available for the next on...
Most wholesalers send me the same thing: an address, an asking price, and "great deal, won't last." I've got 10 minutes to decide. Here's the exact screen I run: 1. ZIP first. If it's not one of my 9 Memphis ZIPs — 38109, 38111, 38112, 38114, 38116, 38117, 38118, 38122, 38128 — I'm done in 30 sec...
Hi everyone. I recently won my first investment property through a tax-foreclosure auction in Rochester, NY for $15,000, and I'd love some input from investors who have experience with low-cost rehabs, BRRRR, flips, and rentals. The property is approximately 1,550 sq. ft., 4 bedrooms/2 bathrooms,...
