BiggerPockets romance?

[Robert Steele]

This post is slightly tongue in cheek but I thought it might be a novel idea.

A lot of what I read about getting into RE investing says that your partner/spouse/gf should be on board and as passionate about RE as you are.

So I had a thought. Wouldn't it be cool if BP had a singles sections :)

For those people looking for love but also looking to make it in RE. I imagine putting something like "must be passionate about RE investing" in the regular web dating sites would not get you much interest.

Great idea! Though we'd have to make it anonymous so my wife doesn't find out! ;)

! Sign me up ! I hope to receive multiple offers and meet and lady that is not in rehab and doesn't flip. :)

Now we will need a contract lawyer on board for the pre-nups
& subject 2's :)

But we did see an interesting addendum to a FSBO sign when we were @ our home in FL

'WAS HIS'

I dated a few ladies from the local RE clubs and they let me in on a secret. They classified guys in the RE club as follows:

1. Buy and hold.
2. Buy and flip.
3. Rehab.
4. Teardown.
5. Highly motivated seller.

I would be careful gents, the holding costs are always higher than you estimate!

J Scott I see you have already taken the first step by swapping out the photo of you with you wife. Smart move ;)

You know, I will say this. There are some advantages to dating another RE investor. Dates at networking meetings then dinner afterwards are acceptable, and a write off. Trips away become "scouting trips" and are again, a write off. A detour on a way to a show to look at a fsbo is completely acceptable. Plus, making out in a half finished rehab is fun as long as you brush away the tell tale signs of suspiciously placed drywall dust afterwards.

Flip side, you could end up marrying someone with a better credit rating than you. Score!

That is hilarious! Josh will have to allow for a double password protected account so the wife does not find out.

I can just hear the pickup lines now:

So you want to help me lay some hardwood?

Do you mind if I manage your assets?

My favorite about five years ago or so was, "So have you seen this movie called The Secret?" You should come over and watch it sometime. Got them all set up for: "Take action now and don't let this moment escape you. Manifest what you want". Sigh.... I miss the silly RE club days sometimes.

 That's why they call it significant other.... Sign If I Can't!

We just had a couple in our Singles FIRE FB group I'm a part of get engaged. It's really difficult for people like us to find others that align with our value system for sure. As community manager will I be invited to the much expected weddings?!?
