Hi all, I am totally green, haven't even purchased a property yet. I'm looking to partner with my dad on my first property. I'm interested in investing in short and/or mid-term rentals in my local area. I've talked to some other investors, and I believe there is a market for it here, and I've als...
Anyone out there ever done a seller carry deal with no down payment and no interest? I was approached by my neighbor about an off market deal. She owns a rental property and we share a lot line. Her husband passed away unfortunately so she’s trying to offload the rental while she can still file j...
The amount of inventory hitting the Four Corners, Reunion, and ChampionsGate areas is incredible. I am seeing more properties come on the market every day, including a growing number of short sales. Some owners are selling at major losses on properties they purchased only a few years ago, and sev...
A property can look like a great deal on paper and still turn into a headache. You buy below market value. The ARV looks strong. The rehab budget seems reasonable. The projected profit looks attractive. Then the project starts. Materials cost more than expected. A contractor finds additional work...
A lot of deals look acceptable until one ordinary expense assumption changes. For example, a property may appear to cash flow using the seller's current tax bill, last year's insurance premium, and a light maintenance estimate. Then the reassessment arrives, the insurance quote comes in higher, o...

Hi, I'm new here, from San Diego. New to BRRRR, but not to buy-and-hold investing. I'm planning to put up to $500k into my first deal, or maybe split it into two sequential deals to reduce risk.

I run a small Airbnb/VRBO portfolio and I've spent a lot of time this year digging into the bookkeeping side of STR ownership. The more I looked, the more I realized how easy it is to get the numbers wrong — especially the gap between what platforms deposit into your bank and what Schedule E actu...
Trying to put a real number on something. When a cross-platform double booking happens, the cancellation fee is only part of it. Airbnb also blocks those dates so you can't rebook them, and there's the Superhost exposure on top. For anyone who's been through one: what did it end up costing you al...
Here's a way to lose money at a tax sale that never shows up on anybody's lien checklist: you win the land, and somebody else still owns the house sitting on it. A manufactured or mobile home starts life as personal property. It carries its own title, the same way a car does — issued by the state...

While the primary risk evaluated by DSCR Lenders is the risk of borrower default, i.e. failure to make payments of interest and principal on the loan, the biggest risk facing a DSCR Lender is different. In the case of default, ...
By default I was opted into members’ discounts on VRBO which I subsequently had to log in and delete. As if them changing my hero shot to a pic of the outdoor shower wasn’t enough. I guess I need to start reading my emails to ensure I opt out of their meddling in the future. Someone give me a hea...

For those of you who’ve been in real estate for a while: What part of your business feels more complicated, inefficient or frustrating now than it did in the early years?

(Posting this for the BiggerPockets Investor Brief. Your reply might run in Thursday's edition.) On this week's BiggerPockets Podcast, Philip Henry said he proposes seller financing on every deal he goes after, and it works about 90% of the time. That's how he picked up a $1.2 million, 31-unit bu...
Angle: Walk through your actual maintenance workflow — how tenants submit requests, how you triage (emergency vs. routine), how you track vendor assignments and completion, and how you handle photo documentation. The "I tried texting, then email, then finally built a system" journey. Ends with: "...

Investors — with 2026 starting to wind down, how are those yearly goals looking? Did you pick up as many properties as you planned this year? How many doors did you add — and how many more are you trying to grab before the year ends? Out-of-state investors too — curious to hear what markets every...
