I’m grateful and excited to share that I recently acquired another investment property: 1616 S Memorial Drive in Racine, Wisconsin. This property represents much more to me than another real estate transaction. It is another step toward building generational wealth, creating long-term security fo...
I was working in the NFL front office. Good job, decent money, zero real estate knowledge. I read real estate books, listened to the podcasts obsessively, and convinced myself I was ready. I quit with $13,000 to my name. That first year was chaos. My first wholesale deal made $25K and I celebrate...
It's been a grind. No investors, no syndication. Just starting out with an 8 unit when I had no idea what I was doing. later got a 16. Later sold the 8. Bought a 24, refinanced the 16. Sold the 24, but a few others, refinanced, sold, bought, etc. etc. etc. Fast forward about 18 years -- 2000+ uni...
I’m comparing a few property management solutions and came across Vekser. Curious if anyone here has used it and what your experience was like, especially with maintenance and tenant management.
From your experience, are there any downsides to stained concrete floors in your rental?
We just wrapped a one-to-six 1031 exchange for a client — one $1.1M property with chronic tenant issues, exchanged into six single-family rentals totaling $2.37M, all DSCR-financed. All six closed within 30 days of the identification window opening. Sharing what actually made this manageable, sin...
A little over five years ago, I was working in hospitality, feeling completely burnt out, not making great money, and honestly knew absolutely nothing about real estate investing. Then I stumbled across a job opportunity at BiggerPockets after deciding to move across the country (I moved during t...
For years, I looked at real estate the way many investors do: Buy a good property. Find a tenant. Collect rent. Hope the property appreciates. But eventually I realized something. A property can look great on paper and still become a poor investment if the income is unpredictable. Vacancy changes...
Not a flashy win, no huge cash flow jump or dream deal, just a quieter kind of success that took me a while to notice. I used to dread the "unexpected repair" call. Every time something broke it felt random, even though looking back, nothing about aging HVAC units or worn roofs is actually random...
SUCCESS STORY: When Conventional Financing Became the Problem Closed today: a 3-unit investment property in New Hampshire. My client is an experienced investor who already owns four investment properties. When he found his next 3-unit property, his Realtor recommended that he speak with me about ...
A few years ago, I was working a full-time job, delivering pizzas, and trying to figure out how to build something bigger for myself. I didn't come from a real estate family. I didn't have a huge network. I didn't have a lot of money. What I did have was a willingness to learn, take action, and k...

All in investment is 485k with purchase price and rehabs. Rent forecast is $5900.00. The other partnership are 4 houses in the city of Warner Robins....
Not every successful investment goes exactly as planned. In our recent Podcast Episode, our guest Rob, a real estate investor with over 20 years of experience, shared the story of one of his earliest fix-and-flip projects. Everything looked promising until renovation began. Unexpected problems su...
Nothing dramatic, just a small win worth sharing. Noticed some flashing around a chimney was starting to lift during a routine check, nothing that looked urgent yet. Had it resealed for a couple hundred bucks instead of waiting. Found out later from a neighbor that a similar issue on another prop...
Nothing dramatic here, just wanted to share a small win. Noticed the HVAC on one of my units was creeping up in age and had it inspected proactively instead of waiting for it to fail. Tech found a component that was about to go, replaced it for a few hundred dollars instead of the full unit repla...
Got this one under contract a couple days ago. Love to work with people that are honest and straightforward in the deals.
I been dealing with this seller for several months. Several back and forward offers and strategies. Finally we get agree. 😁

After several offers in different houses finally we put 1 under contract. We have our private lender ready to go in this one.
Hey just a really quick win I'd like to celebrate here. I have a seller who is buying another house. The house she currently owns needed to be sold before the purchase could happen. The house in question was in rough shape. However after a few weeks of work I was able to connect my seller to a fi...
Just closed on a brand new build home just outside of Salt Lake City, UT. Found a hidden gem with an unfinished basement that has an external entrance which is unique for the area. We closed with a 5.375% APR, will offset expenses by turning the basement into a registered ADU and are expecting an...
I made several offers in different deals this past week. 6 single family 1 quadruplex 1 commercial. Look like the only deal will work is the commercial deal. All the other deals were way high in the price for me and the condition of those houses were rough. All the houses were in the metro area o...
A New Milestone in My Real Estate Journey Today I’m grateful to share that I just closed on my first commercial property. A few years ago, I entered real estate with no experience, just a willingness to learn, work hard, and take action. Every class I attended, every relationship I built, every c...
Hello everyone! I wanted to share my own success story. My first property purchase was in 2019 and back then my net worth was about $40,000. I grew my portfolio reasonably fast by continuing my work as an insurance adjuster, redeploying growing equity (into more purchasing), and driving Lyft afte...
