I get it guys, we're all here to make money. To make money you've got to be an aggressive lead generator. Hell, i've built my career on lead generation. But we all hate spam.....but to be honest, if the spam is good, I'm not really that mad at it. But if the spam sucks, it makes me want to throat...
Hello investors! I recently listened to bigger pockets episode titled "the 7-property retirement plan ($80,000/yr)" August 7th release. I can't seem to figure out the math behind how this is possible in 10yrs. He mentioned at end of podcast that 10% return on equity is achievable and doable by an...
What's your opinion on Dave Ramsey method for success, he mentions a lot its best to buy real estate property cash with no debt or as last resort 15yr mortgage, for most that are just starting out its almost impossible to have over a couple$ 100k to invest in real estate cash.
Bridge Builders I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the space between a good opportunity and the people capable of doing something meaningful with it. Real estate teaches us to look for properties. Find the deal, analyze it, figure out the financing, execute the plan and hopefully create some v...
I wanted to take a moment to talk about private lending in a more personal way. I know that reaching out to someone you don’t know about your business or personal financial situation can feel uncomfortable. There are a lot of people online making big promises, and it’s understandable to be cautio...
There’s so much information out there that it can be hard to know what to focus on location, the neighborhood, the property’s condition, future development, tenant demand, and so on. For those of you who have been investing for a while, what’s one thing you wish you had paid more attention to whe...
You get to meet people exactly where they are. Find whatever they're genuinely the best at, and use it fully. Respect them. Hear them out. Pay them well. Then watch them go around telling everyone how good you are, when they did the physical work. Most people never get this far, because most peop...
Hey everyone! Fairly new to the Triangle area of NC and trying to learn the market better. Does anyone have experience investing out there or know of any off market opportunities? Would love to connect with anyone active in that area and potentially work together. Thanks in advance! 🤝
Sometimes taking the next step can feel difficult, especially when you’re trying to build something meaningful and don’t have all the resources or support you need. If you’re facing challenges, remember that you are not alone—and your current circumstances do not define your future. Your circumst...
I’ve been thinking about this a lot while looking at different vacant land deals. A listing might say 10 acres, 20 acres, 40 acres, etc., but that number doesn’t necessarily tell you how much of the property actually works for what you want to do with it. Once you start layering in things like fl...
Hey everyone I’m new to BiggerPockets and figured I’d introduce myself. I’m a real estate investor and hard money lender, working with investors and brokers on everything from fix & flips and new construction to bridge, DSCR, and commercial financing. Rather than jumping on here and just promotin...
Deferred maintenance can become expensive, if we kick the can down the road long enough.. Ever heard the phrase, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Sounds okay on the surface, right? Then we start to peel back the layers to learn.. Most things don't magically break down overnight... They started ...
If you reached a height of your career not necessarily making millions yet but six figures, and you happened to lose it all, how would you get it all back and more starting with $20?
About eight months ago, I wrote a post here about how my goals as a real estate investor have changed. For years, the goal was accumulation. My original target was 10 doors producing $500 per month each. Eventually we surpassed that goal, and I found myself thinking less about how much more we co...
Anyone else noticing how traditional financing has become the bottleneck in flipping deals? I've been watching experienced investors struggle with 45-day closings while their profit margins shrink. The flippers I see succeeding right now are the ones who've found alternative funding sources that ...
Something that's been looping my mind. Placing all our eggs in one basket sounds like it's easier to carry and then one sudden fall... We could lose them all. Something I've noticed throughout my seasons: Jack of all trades, a master of none. But oftentimes, better than a master of one. Absolutel...
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been speaking with investors across different markets, and one thing I’ve noticed is that everyone seems to be getting more selective with acquisitions. I’m curious to hear from investors who are active in Florida: • Are you seeing more motivated sellers lately? • Wh...
4 Years Wholesaling, Team of My Own, Ready to Pivot Into Development. Where Do I Start? Hey BP community, Quick intro. I've been wholesaling real estate for 4 years now, based in Reading, PA. Along the way I built out a full team, and we've worked land, multifamily, single-family, and distressed ...
Client came to me convinced their contractor was over-billing. I went through the draw schedule line by line. Contractor wasn't over-billing. Client's own scope changes weren't documented anywhere, so every change order looked like padding. Fixed with a change-order log, not a lawsuit. Sometimes ...
I keep seeing guys on the forums saying to completely stay away from East Cleveland—whether for rentals or small retail shops. The stuff people complain about is real, like slow city services, high vacancy, and security concerns, but what usually happens is an out-of-state investor buys a deal of...
Have probably made a post with a similar theme before, but as we all know, simple concepts can change and mean different things to us at different times. Brandon used to talk about how the literal book "the one thing" was his "one thing", and I thought i understood that at the time, but I had a m...
I want to learn and see more post about investors investing in buisness this seems to be for housing or am I just looking in the wrong places?
Asking all investors why they choose Real Estate as their form of investments!!!! Of course, a lot of investors like to spread their investments out. What is your opinion?? Do you put most of your money to stocks? Bonds? Real Estate? Would love to hear from everyone in the community!!!!
Hi everyone, I’m a former Northwestern football player looking to get started in real estate investing and build a strong long-term portfolio. Over the past several months, I’ve been taking the education side seriously by reading books, studying underwriting, analyzing deals, and working toward m...
For those actively buying or analyzing residential investment properties, what part of deciding whether a deal actually works takes you the most time or creates the most uncertainty? Rehab costs? ARV? Rent assumptions? Financing? Due diligence? Keeping everything organized? Something else? I’m es...
