Same Salesforce Engineer/developer here.

keep me posted on the date/time as well!

So you want to get started with real estate, and have $1000 a month to use for investing. Where would you start?

Wholesaling?

Save it for a down payment?

What strategies would you use?

@Karen Margrave

Did you mean to say November?

@Karen Margrave I'm interested! I've got a few friends who will come as well!

Hey everybody,

Still a newbie here trying to do My 1st deal. I'm looking into doing it long distance or locally. I've walked a few local properties, put in 1 offer and am being conservative with my numbers.

However when I'm calculating repair costs my numbers are huge, and that estimate makes the deal not make sense.

I'm worried about being too conservative, or maybe I just haven't found a good rule of thumb to help with? Or Maybe I haven't found a good deal yet?

Do you guys recommend just put the offer in, walk with a GC , then back out /lower my Offer accordingly?

What do you guys do to not overestimate rehab costs?

@Micah Depascale

Digital marketer here. From a marketing perspective , great idea! Friends and family are a great way to get started and asking them to Help can Kickstart your business. I would recommend directly Messaging people who will Share it for you, a general Facebook post to no one in particular doesn't get as much engagement as we would hope. Good luck!

@Dave Vona

Whatever you choose, might want to run it through https://www.namecheckr.com/ in order to make sure you can register it across a wide variety of social media channels.

Namecheckr searches across a bunch of social sites to see if your brand is available.

@Braden Smith

I really enjoyed https://www.reikit.com/ they have a super in depth rehab tool.

@Jingwen Dunford check out wave accounting. It's pretty easy to use free, for most features.
