Hi Robert,

Stessa and RentRedi provide different benefits and features. Both are also free for Pro members, so we recommend using both for different benefits. In addition, you’ll be included in their newsletters for additional real estate investing resources.

The best way to leverage RentRedi benefits is for rent collection:

• Tenant applications and screening
• Document and field maintenance requests
• E-sign leases
• Tenant communication
• Renter’s insurance
  
  

And for Stessa benefits:

• Property bookkeeping and accounting
• Portfolio monitoring
• Property analytics to track historical performance
• Schedule of Real Estate Owned
• Landlord banking
• Tax prep support

Hi Mario, great questions!

You get two Q&As per week: Not only will you get a weekly Q&A with the instructor to discuss the content, but you’ll also get a second Q&A with the instructor and a special guest star to bring more dimension and depth to your learning experience.

Our Interactive Bootcamps offer weekly, live Q&A with attendees. If you cannot make a session, don’t worry! Yes, all of the live class sessions will be recorded and added to your course.

If you have any other questions, I'd be more than happy to answer them for you and would also recommend checking out the Bootcamp FAQ page found here!

Hi Margaret! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Follow your favorite forum topics and set up keyword alerts! Adding keywords related to your investment strategy or market locations can be updated in your settings. You’ll receive notifications when there is conversation in the forums you follow or if a user mentions those keywords—so keep them updated often!

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

4) Review Dave Meyer’s The State of Real Estate Investing Report 2024 (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!) for real estate investors available to all BiggerPockets members!

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!

Great thoughts on what to DIY and what to contract out. Will you need to add a door to the 5th bedroom? Another thing to think about is framing and adding a pre-hung door to the additional space. I wanted to DIY this on my second house hack, but decided to contract it out as I was not able to properly finish/texture it on my own.

It was a support role, so I wasn't very exposed to many sales tactics. I was able to transfer a lot of property management skills from previous roles into my own portfolio though!
