I am a beginner wholesaler who is in need of guidance.

I would really appreciate some guidance here!

I’m especially interested in hearing:• What made a support team truly valuable to your business• The things that frustrated you or slowed you down• What you wish agencies or VAs understood better about investors• Any features, reporting, systems, or communication styles that would make the experience 10x better• What’s missing in the market right nowI talk to a lot of investors, and everyone seems to have a different experience — some great, some not so great — so I’d love to hear directly from the community here.No selling here, just trying to learn from people actually doing deals and understand what matters most to you when it comes to operational support.Looking forward to hearing your insights!  

Is mentorship/common guidance normal in the GP world, or is it more of a “learn-by-doing” environment?

Very clear why they did this based on essentially the SCOTUS decision and the opinion that guidances should not replace the courts.

I’d love to hear from those who’ve been in my shoes or anyone open to sharing advice, guidance, or even just encouragement.I’m here to learn, take action, and become a valuable part of the investing community.

I have been watching bigger pocket podcasts and cannot appreciate more how valuable and useful they have been.

My name is Tes and I'm looking for some advice or guidance on how to properly structure a gift of equity for two homes I'm purchasing directly from my parents.Here are a few details:- There are two properties -- one in Raleigh, NC and the other in Jacksonville, NC.- Both homes are currently owned by my parents and I'll be purchasing directly from them.- These will be investment properties, not primary residences, as I currently live in San Francisco, CA.- I've already started the pre-approval process with a credit union based in North Carolina, but I'd love some help understanding how to structure the gift of equity correctly for investment properties, what documentation may be required, and if there are any specific limitations or tax implications I should consider.- My goal is to close on both homes by the end of the year or early next year.If anyone has experience with gift of equity transactions for invest properties -- especially in North Carolina or involving out-of-state buyers -- or can recommend a loan officer, lender, or real estate attorney familiar with this setup, I'd really appreciate your insight.Thanks in advance!

You’ll also gain valuable experience managing a property before buying anything bigger.Before you buy anything, learning the basics of taxes with rentals will give you a huge head start.
