So I'm shopping around and discovering that many providers have a dwelling cap of $700k.

During closing, we discovered a few issues — the HVAC and some piping needed repair, and several GFCI outlets had to be replaced.

Outside of Bigger pockets, Meetup.com and Eventbrite are excellent platforms for finding like-minded people, discovering networking events, and connecting with other real estate investors who are serious about growing together.

Credit reporting agencies subsequently discovered the recorded abstract and reported the judgment on the debtor’s credit file.

I’m from the South and discovered my love for renovations after turning my hurricane-damaged 2BD/1BA into a 3BD/2BA — now a rental since early 2025!

I discovered BiggerPockets through Spotify.I already own a single-family property in Hampton, VA, purchased using a VA Home Loan, but I'm new to real estate investing and unsure how to leverage this property to grow my wealth.

Furthermore, I later discovered that the property was located in a C- neighborhood, which was not disclosed upfront.

In March of 2024 I did agree to take on the project months, but then I discovered unpaid taxes, undisclosed city issues, and several liens I was never told about.To prevent immediate foreclosure, I’ve been making the interest-only payments on the hard-money loan for 8 months while renovating.The property recently appraised below the loan balance, and the lender is refusing my offer to refinance/payoff at a lower amount.They also suggested they may “wait years” to foreclose, which has left me unsure of my rights since title is now in my name.Meanwhile, the original investor appears to be moving personal assets out of their name despite previously giving personal guarantees.My questions for the community:What realistic options exist when a hard-money loan exceeds the property’s value but the investor has abandoned the project?

Could be anything —• A screening question you added• A maintenance workflow that saved you headaches• A tool/software feature you discovered• Something you implemented with tenants that reduced calls• Or even just something simple that improved your sanity 😅I’ll start: For me, adding a required “hold fee” for out-of-state applicants dramatically cut down on last-minute drop-offs.

Pet odors can hide deeper than you think, so it’s smart to check now instead of discovering it after closing.
