@Brian Gibbons Messaged you!

@Brian Gibbons Had to read your post 2 times to understand all of it. I like your thinking! That's a great way to help everyone involved!

 Thanks Joshua! I'll be waiting patiently.

I know! That app is amazing! When i was in DC last year, I finally got a chance to use it.

Yesterday i searched the play store for biggerpockets and found nothing. I know there's a BP app for iphones, but I'm curious. Is there a BP app in the making for members on android platform? If not, are there any plans about creating one? It would be great to have one!

Thoughts and feedback please!

How accurate is Zillow.com as far as it's "Home Value Index" goes? Was looking up the value of the home I currently rent. The Zestimate says $290,662. However, tax assessment says $191,500. Why such a huge gap? It was sold in 1999 for $157k, in 2001 for $265k, and in 2003 for $330k.

Was looking up another property on ziprealty.com. Property is a foreclosure condo, 2b/1b. 903 sg ft. HOA dues $380 per month. It's been on the site for 60 days. Asking price is $66,800. It sold for $150k in 2005. It also says it was sold for $180k in 2005. It was then listed 09/19/14 for $74k, 10/19/14 for $61k, and 10/31/14 for $66k. Still waiting to be sold. Not sure if this appropriate or not, but here is the link to the property (if inappropriate, please remove):

I'm looking at the different times both houses were  sold and I'm guessing the huge gaps are either from depreciation or appreciation? If so, considering the foreclosure, would that be a good deal for $66,800? Will the value of the property eventually appreciate back to $150k or even $180k?

Starting to look at properties so I can finally do my first deal. All help is greatly appreciated!

 Hi Sorab! Congrats on your new property! What were the numbers on that deal?

We can talk shop whenever you like. Just let me know. Send me a message.

Any other investors in my area looking to connect? Would really like to find a mentor with experience flipping houses.

Can anyone refer me to someone with flipping experience in my area? Any connections would be nice!

Ready to get started investing. Aside from finding a mentor, what's the first step I should take to complete my first deal and do a flip? There's so many different ways to get started. What do you all think is best?

Thank you @Jonna Weber ! That is one of the main reasons I decided to get my license. 

@Andrew Fingado Thank you! Fell off track for a bit with my studying. Finally committed and got it done!

I'm offering to serve any investor in any way I can help. I gave a brief description of the work I currently do because it might be able to benefit some people.

In regards to my work experience, I can do water restoration and remediate mold. If there is any preexisting water damage, there could be possible mold depending on if there's insulation in the affected wall cavities or if a floor is on slab or plywood. I can determine what's possible to save (as far as flooring and sheet rock goes) and what needs to be demo'd. I can also do the demolition and remediation of mold. Once demo is complete (if needed), I can get the affected materials (sheet rock, h/w floor, sub-floor, all dried out. If no demo is needed, I can dry affected materials in place.

Aside from water restoration and mold remediation, I'm willing to do demo, run errands, clean, etc.

Currently work full-time. Work can be slow though, which means I go home early on some days. I would be willing to help out in any way that I can after work or on the weekends.

Would really appreciate you keeping me in mind! Thank you!
