Hello all,

You know all the mistakes that REIs make? For the first 2 years of my journey, I've made them all and fortunately, I've learned from them as well. I've worked with all sorts of "gurus" in the STR, Creative Financing space, MFR. Sent them pretty much all my money but showed little from them. They were not to blame, other people coming from less than where I was got to where they were promised. My failures are my own are my best (and most expensive) lessons. I'm ready for the next chapter of my journey. Renewing my Pro Membership is a good first step. I'm looking forward to learning from the community and working with similar minded individuals.

I'm a real estate broker and general contractor looking to connect with other real estate professionals on this forum. I'm looking forward to acquiring my 1st building and learning from everyone here. I've primarily worked with investors in this industry in off market acquisitions, now I'm ready to start the journey of becoming one myself:) Cheers to evolving as an investor.

Hi my name is Anthony and I’m looking to buy rental property I’m new to this so I’m open to any suggestions advise thanks 

So we have an online portal for contractors to submit bids and SoW.

He said he will submit everything except the license number and never had a lender require it. I told him well my lender does. So I told him if you aren’t comfortable with that would you feel comfortable giving directly to lender? He says that’s fine.

What do you all think? 

Hi Team,

I have a 3 bed, 2 bath duplexed unit in West Logan Square that I have been trying to lease since late June. Unfortunately, I have not had much success as I have barely gotten 1 application. I have dropped my rental price (from the original rent listing price recommended by my agent), but I still don't see much traction. 

My question is, how do you guys typically evaluate real estate agent performance? I understand that a rental listing will not generate as much as a sale would, but I think a minimal standard should exist (especially since I plan to buy properties in the future). Any thoughts?
