Welcome to the BiggerPockets community! No matter where you stand in your real estate investing journey, BiggerPockets is the ultimate resource for all of your investing needs. I’d suggest starting out by networking with as many other investors as possible and be an active participant in the forums.

Look for meetups in your area (virtual) on Meetup.com or FB Groups, attend free webinars, start reading as much as possible on any and all topics related to investing and real estate. Use the forums to help you search for the answers to all of your questions. If you can’t find your answers, then create your own post!

Feel free to DM me if you want more specific advice.

Good luck and get educated!

Should be home for Christmas this year. Would be fun to meet up for a holiday beverage somewhere downtown!

@Quortney Williams

Use the networking tab here on BP and you should be able to find some great investor-friendly lenders in your area! 

Good luck on your search and smart call shopping around.

Welcome to the community! I was actually born and raised in Rochester, I'd love to connect next time I'm back home. 

Personally, I'd recommend just averaging out your monthly utilities for the year and including that in your rent prices. This just makes it easier all around and one less thing for you to have to worry about at the end of the month.

Hey Andrew, I'm a big fan of RentRedi. It's affordable and allows your tenants to pay with different methods directly through the app. The rent then transfers into your desired bank account once received. You can then use services like Xe Money transfer if you need to send it to your overseas bank account. This is what I used when living in New Zealand and they have competitive exchange rates.

I'd try to steer away from having a friend collect rent, especially physical checks. I can see a lot of head aches coming up with that route.

Good luck to you!

Welcome to the BP community! You've got a big head start on a lot of investors with your remodeling business. Good luck to you!

Come down to Wibby Brewing in Longmont on Friday, October 29th from 6:00-8:00 PM. This networking event is a great opportunity to meet like-minded individuals who share an interest in real estate and real estate investing. Everyone is welcome! Please share with your friends, family, and anyone who you know that might be interested in real estate, financial independence, or just looking to meet some new people.

If you arrive from the main entrance on the corner of Emery St and 2nd Ave, our table is the first/second on the left side. If you can't find us, message me or ask at the service bar.

See you there!

@Pablo Cuevas

That’s where the BP calculators come in handy. You can also find some free calculators online. DM me and we can run through a practice or two.

Welcome to the community! 

I'd suggest reaching out to some investor-friendly lenders. You could also look into non-traditional lending options like hard money or private lenders.
