Hello wanted to get some advice on talking to pre-foreclosure leads. How should I go about contacting them I’ve heard most people say to text first but what do I text and how should I approach their situation respectfully so they don’t completely ignore me. Since they are already getting flooded ...

Hey guys! I’m a 28-year-old guy working as a travel nurse in my hometown of Philadelphia, PA. About two months ago, I stumbled down the BiggerPockets rabbit hole, and now I’m completely hooked. I have a lease on a townhome in the surrounding suburbs where my wife and I will be living for the next...
Hi Guys. I am finishing a three-apartment unit renovation, and I am starting to look for a lender to refinance it long-term. I am looking for investors' experiences with refinancing. Any suggestions for companies you had a wonderful experience with? Any strategy: REFI, DSCR, HELOC? Is there any w...
Hear me out, because I think it’s closer than people want to admit. Politicians at least have opponents, fact-checkers, and a voting record anyone can look up. When they stretch the truth, someone usually calls it out by the next news cycle. Real estate sponsors? A lot of them have a nice website...
Hi all — I self-manage a few multifamily buildings in Springfield, MA.

Hey guys, I’ve been using Allstate for my rental property insurance, but they have a limit of five rental properties. I’m adding two more properties to my portfolio, and I’m also not particularly happy with their pricing. For those of you who own multiple rental properties, what insurance compani...
I think a lot of landlords don't give enough thought to this question - when you've owned a rental for years, it cash flows, the tenants are decent, and you've got no particular reason to sell it. So you don't. But what if you bought that house for $80K and today it's worth $180K? You're sitting ...
I'm trying to see how other investors keep track of a mixed portfolio. Some of mine are rehabs with budgets and draws, some are long-term rentals with tenants and leases, and some are land I'm holding or developing. Most software I've looked at handles only one of those well. What do you use for ...
I am an investor (flips and LTRs) who is in the process of getting my real estate license to use for my own deals. Wondering what brokers those of you in the same situation use, who allow you to only do your own deals. Thank you!
Investors, have any of you successfully purchased a property through a short sale or REO? If so, would you consider it a good deal, and did it ultimately work better as a buy-and-hold or a flip?
Hey everyone! I’m based in Orlando and looking to connect with an experienced real estate investor who could use some help while giving me the opportunity to learn.

Monthly rent can look great on paper, but the real picture also includes insurance, property taxes, repairs, vacancy periods, capital expenditures, and financing payments. I'm curious how other landlords evaluate whether a property can comfortably support its expenses before buying or refinancing...
Hackers linked to North Korea drained about 6.3 billion from Binance Thursday evening, the largest crypto theft on record. Withdrawals were paused and Binance says it will cover customer losses from its own funds. In our office we have a saying: "If you're risk-averse, real estate over crypto," b...
Hi everyone, I'm brand new to real estate investing and looking to learn from someone experienced in Union, Hudson, or Bergen County.

Had a first this month. A group was booked Oct 24–31 at one of my furnished houses, and two days before arrival we found out the septic wall had collapsed. The house wasn't usable. I had another house I manage sitting open for those exact dates, so I offered to move them there at the same rate. T...

For most people, housing is the biggest monthly bill they will ever pay. House hacking turns that bill into an investment. The idea is simple. You buy a property, live in part of it and rent out the rest, so your tenants cover some or all of your mortgage. It is one of the most popular ways to ge...
Times are getting tough again for a lot of tenants, and I keep thinking about how many good people are one missed paycheck away from an eviction notice. During the pandemic my team reached out to over a dozen organizations and filed every bit of the paperwork for our owners, and together we broug...

I run 236 properties in Memphis, all BRRRR single-family. The pipeline never stops, and here's the simple reason: deal flow is my bottleneck, not capital, not contractors, not the team. While one house is in rehab, I'm already sourcing and underwriting the next one. I buy single-family under $100...
