Why did you start your business? Take a moment right now to sit and think about the first days or weeks before you opened your doors.

IRAs allow you to make tax-deferred investments while you are working so you’ll reap the rewards when you retire.

BiggerPockets Daily 104: How Much Debt Is Too Much When It Comes To Real Estate? by Brandon Turner

Recently, a question came in from a BiggerPockets Podcast listener asking, "I'm still unclear how the BRRRR strategy would work, given that every property increases your debt load. Why would anyone ke ep giving you new loans as your debt balance keeps building?" Forget the BRRRR part for a second. Let’s just talk in general. The underlying logic is: the more properties you own just adds more and more debt to your life. Why would banks keep giving you loans? ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 102: How Much Profit Should You Make on a Rental Property? by Nathan Miller

Real estate will likely be one of the largest investments in your portfolio. High risk can lead to high reward—but only if you put in the time and research to understand your market and the numbers be hind your investment. Good investments require analysis, and you should have a solid understanding going into any real estate deal of what you can expect from your investment’s return. Setting unrealistic expectations for your return on investment (ROI) can set you up for failure and hurt your profit. Most real estate investment strategies tie up large chunks of money for quite some time, so you need to weigh the pros and cons between committing for the long haul or finding a property to flip. Setting realistic expectations for property value and cash flow will ensure your investment turns out to be a great deal. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 101: The Definitive Guide To Tenant Screening by Remen Okoruwa

Tenant screening is one of the most crucial aspects of being a profitable landlord. It is easy to let a renter live in your rental unit.

BiggerPockets Daily 100: You Can Avoid After-Hours Phone Calls From Tenants—Here’s How by Andrew Syrios

Probably the thing that scares new landlords and property managers the most is what to do when a tenant calls at 2 a.m. because water is shooting out of their pipes in all directions. This fear is so paralyzing, in fact, I've heard stories where people eschewed becoming a landlord just to avoid it. Some have hired a property manager instead of managing themselves for only that reason. Indeed, hiring a manager is one option, but there will still be some oversight involved. And if you do manage yourself, there are certainly ways to deal with these problems. You just have to have a plan going into it. ... show more

BiggerPockets Daily 99: Grant Cardone Is Both Very Right and Very Wrong: Let’s Pick Apart His Advice by Ben Leybovich

When you get to be pretty smart and rather accomplished, you find yourself in somewhat of a danger zone. The danger is represented by the fact that your prior successes tend to back you into a tunnel- vision perspective on life and business. Because you know what has worked for you in the past, you can fall into believing that the same will work in the future, that your way is the only way, etc. Well, it doesn’t take a genius to note that everything in life changes over time, that life and everything in it is cyclical. And if so, your perspective and frame of mind necessarily and proactively must evolve. ... show more
