Hey everyone! I’m looking to learn more about real estate wholesaling and would really appreciate some guidance from experienced wholesalers and investors.I’m especially interested in learning: - How do you find good wholesale deals and off-market properties? - What strategies do you use to find ...
At a cross road in our life. We live off my husband’s income and have been saving my income from being a real estate agent. Investing wise, we have bought 1 foreclosure property & plan to flip it by the EOY. Other than that, we’re stuck on the idea of paying off debt verses buying our first 1 or ...
Quick question for the investors here — I'm testing something. If you could hand off ONE back-office task tomorrow and never touch it again, which one? 1) Building lead lists to your filters, 2) Cleaning up a messy list / CRM, 3) Prepping records for skip tracing, 4) Something else (tell me). And...
Intro "House Hacking" is one of the best ways to get started in real estate investing. Buy a property, live in part of it, rent out the rest, and let your tenants help pay your mortgage. I'm currently living through my own house hacking experience, and I wanted to share what it actually looks lik...
Sellers outnumber buyers by a record 63% nationally, and in 13 metros there are more than two sellers for every buyer. The catch is that rates are sitting around 7.4%. One camp says buy the price now and refinance if rates ever drop. The other says wait, because a 7.4% payment kills the cash flow...
Hey everyone, curious how experienced investors decide whether to trust a new contractor. Do you rely on referrals, reviews, licenses, a small test job, or something else? And what’s the biggest red flag that makes you walk away? Would love to hear what’s worked for you. Thanks!
Hi everyone!

Hey, do you think I can get a fixed and flip loan on a 75K property? I have an ITIN number. I have done a rehab in this similar area. Appreciate any input.
Hey everyone, when a repair comes up at one of your rentals, what’s your go-to way of finding someone to fix it? Do you have a trusted list, ask other landlords, use an app, or search online each time? And how often does the first person you call actually work out? Thanks!
I selected "Horror Stories" from the Bigger Pockets dropdown mostly because I feel like this is about to become one (just in time for Halloween? cliche but true). Please allow me to give you the backdrop to cue up the story. In 2024 I invested a large sum as an accredited investor to Ashcroft's "...
A lot of the overrun stories here aren't about one trade going over. They're about the schedule. The drywall crew shows up a week late, an inspection gets pushed, and holding costs eat into the profit without any single line item going over budget. One way to make that visible is a daily holding ...
What are the payment methods your tenants are using and you recommend? My previous tenant used Zelle and it worked great. My understanding is not all banks allow similar limits per transaction or per month. I want to offer options to future tenants. Do you give your account number and routing num...

Hi all, new real estate investor here looking for some tax planning and financial advice.

Hello all, New investor here. My wife and I both owned a home when we got married in August of 2025. We sold my home to get into our current home. We would like to use her home to springboard our investing. We initially thought we would rent her house out but our goal right now is cash flow and w...
I'm curious how people estimate ARV. Obviously agents can provide an ARV, but I've noticed some fairly wide discrepancies. I would like to be able to do some of my own math rather than just trust agents who I haven't worked with in the past (and therefore I don't know how accurate their estimates...
How many markets did you research before pulling the trigger on your first out-of-state deal? For me, the biggest factor is having someone on the ground I trust who can be my point of contact. The numbers have to work, but having a reliable local connection matters more than anything else. That’s...

Saw an Instagram post where a long time landlord recommends using a tenant screening website called Lease Defend. It uses information from potential tenants bank account that verifies the tenants reported income and also gives a score that tells the Landlord how good of a renter the applicant wou...

I'm in the process of building my "core four," and I'm wondering how other new investors have handled getting contractors to walk a property that you're considering making an offer on. In other words, if I had an existing relationship with a contractor it might not be much of an ask to see if the...
Did keywords go away with the app update? I can’t seem to find them in my alerts or inbox. I use to look for my city and don’t see those alerts anymore. I would search for this question as someone has likely asked this already, but I can’t find the search button anymore either. lol. I feel like a...
