One of the main reasons we invest in real estate is to leverage other people's money for our gain. One of the main benefits of debt is being able to write-off your interest expense. Another benefit is increasing your return per each dollar invested. When you want to determine whether to use debt or not, you should run the numbers with an all-equity (no leverage) investment and a leveraged investment (using debt). By running these numbers, you will be able to decide whether it's smart to use debt or not.

 Hi Devan,

I would love to set up a time to meet with you. What's the best way I can contact you?

Hi Ben,

I would love to chat about potential opportunities. What's the best way I can contact you?

Dear fellow real estate investors,

I am looking to buy my first property in OKC, but I am from Chicago, Illinois. I am looking to talk about the OKC market with other investors and which neighborhoods I should stay away from. I know crime is a big issue in OKC and I don't want to purchase a property that won't generate income. 

I would love to talk to anyone about the market and where I think it's headed!

Best,

Aaron

No, I am a wholesaler.

Hey Everyone!

I have a deal under contract and am currently running comps. I believe I have found 3 good properties to compare the property to, but I want to make it in a neat format to present to a possible end-buyer.

What information should I include in the report? Should I include photos?

Any information is helpful!

Thank you!

Aaron

Hi everyone,

I am 19 years old and live in a suburb of Illinois. 

I just finished the book, "Finding & Funding Great Deals," by Anson Young. I am looking to start my real estate career this summer and am looking for someone to point me in the right direction. What books should I read next? Should I get my real estate license? Should I try and wholesale first? Any information will be appreciated.
