Hypothetically speaking, if you had $350,000 cash which of these options would you choose and why? 

1. Would you buy a primary residence all cash first for $250,000 then invest in a property with what is left over? 

2. Would you invest most of the funds into real estate and use the rest to put a down payment towards a primary residence? 

Let me know what you guys would do! 

Hello everyone! Is there anywhere I can get info on REIT investing? I'd like to do something more hands off at this particular point in my life. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi everyone! I’m in the Baton Rouge metro and would love to meet investors. If anyone is open to chat/meet up and discuss real estate, send me a direct message and we can set something up! Thanks!

Let’s say someone is willing to sell you their mobile home (on their own land) for a really really cheap price. So low you could probably purchase it with cash outright. The mobile home is in good condition and only needs minor upgrades/repairs. Would you buy it and rent it out or are there things I’m not aware of that are associated with renting out a mobile home? Does this sound like a good investment or are there some things I’m missing? I would love some input!!! Thanks 

How’s it going BP community? I’ll be moving to the Baton Rouge metro in the next coming weeks and I’m looking to meet/network with other investors that are either starting out or are seasoned! 
I would like to get some more insight on the real estate industry and form partnerships! 
Thank you 

Hello everyone! Quick question. For those of you who have or have had a mentor, how did you go about finding them? 

How do I invest in real estate as someone with visible (face, neck, throat) tattoos? 

Hi! Are there any clubs or meetup groups in the BR metro? Would love to get to know and network with other investors! 

Hi everyone! I have a question about the pre-approval process and what I should do as far as getting pre-approved for a mortgage. Right now with the job I have, I gross upwards of 65k but I’m getting ready to leave this job to start one where I’ll be close to, if not in, the 6 figure range. As far as getting pre-approved for a loan, should I use my salary from my current job? I’m assuming I’ll be able to afford less house or should I wait until I’m on the new job, work there a few months and use the salary from that one so I’ll be able to afford more house? What do you guys think? I know there are other variables when it comes to pre-approval but I’m only thinking in terms of my salary with this question. 
Thanks!
