I’m a rookie investor investing long distance. I’m wondering if I’m being too conservative. When I underwrite a potential deal I include 10% for maintenance, 5% vacancy, and 10% for cap x. Is this to high? It seems like when I run numbers on a property my offer needs to be embarrassingly low. What are folks using for these numbers?

TIA

Hi all! Do any of you invest in Fresno, CA? If so - would love to connect and learn from you! I'm interested in long-term rentals, both turn-key and value-add (from touchups to total gut jobs).

About me: I'm a SFH + MFH investor in San Diego, CA (7 doors), Colorado Spring, CA (10 doors), and recently Columbus, OH (2 doors). I'm primarily interested in finding new markets to do value-add investing and BRRRR. Happy to share about those markets!

Hi everyone! I'm leaving my teaching career the end of the school year. I've decided that I want to invest my money that I'll receive from the STRS into real estate. Originally I was looking at rolling it over into a traditional IRA but I believe that money would be better in RE vs. Stock market. Can you tell me what type of IRA I can do this with? There are a lot of tax rules. I don't want to pay thousands in taxes if I take it out cash it would be 30% approximately. Help Please and thank you in advance. Also if they take it out, can I get a lot of it back? I just started a LLC and have an EIN.

Hi! I'm a new investor. I own 3 properties. One is a STR in Joshua Tree, second is a cabin near Sequoia, and the third is a vacant lot in JT that I have listed for sale. I am interested in out of state investing (long term leases) and want to learn about the best rental markets out there. Can someone give me tips on where I should start researching? Thanks :)

Hello, 

I'm new to BP and the forum. I have been working to build a team in the Columbus and Dayton areas so that I can continue building my portfolio. I am an out of state investor and am looking for a good property manager to work with. Any recommendations for ones that have worked with you for awhile and go the extra mile would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Calling all Cincinnati Agents, Investors, Contractors etc. I currently house-hack in Columbus and would love to learn more about the Cincinnati market and what it has to offer. I want to expand my portfolio in Ohio to cities other than Columbus in the future. Any information about which areas are the best/worst to invest in, where you see the market going, what to expect if purchasing rentals there (or doing BRRRR's) is much appreciated! Thanks in advance

Looking to learn a lot about real estate , I’m new to the game and want to get my foot in the water and learn as much as possible . I’ve had many recommendations to start in multi family first as a new investor . As wanted to partner up with someone and we can both grow as real estate investors . Also advice ? 

I live in Houston but I think it's not worth investing in Houston because property tax is so high and keep increasing every year. Additionally, renting market is very competitive. And, appreciation here is not so good. I am thinking about properties in another state to invest in. Can you guys with knowledge and experiences plz help me to suggest some good states for investment within my budget? I highly appreciate any comments. Thank you very much:)

Hello there,

My name is Will and I currently live in Northern California. I am currently doing my first BRRRR that should give me around 100k in equity after a cash out refinance. I am looking to deploy my cash into a multi family property that has great cash flow. Obviously, every one wants that great property that cash flows but I just wanted to see which city/state you guys are investing for great cash flow returns so that I can start searching around there. I want to use all 100k for one large multi-family property to maximize cash flow.

Any advice would help!

Thank you all,

Will
