Congrats! Getting your license is not easy these days! What do you want to specialize in? Residential, commercial, helping investors etc. 

Been following along the Boone thread! I am from Boone and live in Raleigh but hope to invest up there one day. Just saw this in the Democrat: https://www.wataugademocrat.com/news/boone-discusses-short-term-rental-regulations/article_927e7601-4f1b-5070-beda-bc9d5c516c7f.html

Did you clearly state the the Realtor that you had interest in said property? If so, conflict of interest for sure. If not? Then fair game in my opinion. Many Realtors are investors and as long as they are not fighting you for the same property, then I don't think they have to provide a blanket disclosure to you. 

Thank you so much @Kyle Jensen! I sent him #300 and he really enjoyed it! 

Hi all! My husband has some time to listen to some BP episodes and I had a couple I really liked for getting him inspired. What would be your top two BP episodes to inspire someone and get them eager about RE investing/BRRRR?

Tough question I know??!!

Hi all! I have finally piqued my husband's interest in RE investing and am doing my due diligence of reading, research and podcast listening. I have a bad habit of rushing into things sometimes and my husband is the exact opposite. I want to be sure we go about this the right way (as much as possible anyways). 

We are interested in two things at the moment - acquiring a long term rental property near our home and then a short term vacation property in the mountains of my state (where I grew up). Nothing fancy for either - just something to get our feet wet and produce some cash flow.

My question is should we use money out of our HELOC to fund one or both down payments? What are advantages/disadvantages to doing this? Or should we put our heads down and save for said down payments which could take a few years? I am a local real estate broker and know in my gut the market is going to turn soon in our area so don't know if this is happening at the worst time or not. Would appreciate any feedback or thoughts from seasoned pros! :)

Side Note: I am a local real estate broker (former interior designer) who is used to HUSTLING and working hard for my clients and in building my personal business. I had a duh moment recently when I realized I have been helping investors here and there for over 4 years now when all along, I should have been getting in the game. :( 

Same here @Necho Williams :) I am not far from Rocky Mount and have heard mixed things about the rental abilities there. Would love to get some of your insight!
