Hey BPer's!!!!

I have been doing real estate for just over a year now and have been picked up by a local reselling firm that can deal hold and flip up to 15 properties at once. 

From being little a solo flipper, to now being on a team that can handle so many properties it is very overwhelming-- especially that we are only currently holding 2 and are capable of holding 13 more. 

I have been scanning the MLS, working with wholesalers, and contacting FSBO's everyday to try and find more deals for us, but it has been very difficult, especially with the current market we are in. However, while my team and I will keep sifting through our current pipelines, I am trying to expand and make more connections, with wholesalers specifically.

The question is, how do I find a good, honest wholesaler that wont recycle old properties or try to lie just to unload a property. All the wholesalers I have come across just try to rip us off -- and as shown by the companies track record for not falling for traps, we dont take scammers/liars too well.

I want to reach and make connections with the cream of the crop wholesalers but just am not sure how... Any advice, suggestions, or connections would be very appreciated!!! Thanks

You rock (-:

Go to their commander and complain before eviction. I have never had an issue with military before, if they ever were boarderline, ie be a few days late on pay or have noise complaints, just tell them to knock it off, behave themself or you will report their behavior to their commander.

In Tacoma, $200k can either get you a studio condo overlooking the water, a gutted 2/1 SFH in the Eastside where your chances of a drive-by are are nearly 100%, or, if you're lucky, a quarter acre of vacant land ...

In Layman's terms. Not much.

Hey BPers!

I have a quick question.

Cracks in the foundation of a house..... Is that a deal killer? Is it something to worry about? Or are they easy (cheap) fixes?

A buddy of mine and I have been searching for fix and flips in East Side of Tacoma (filled with ran down and 1900's houses), but it seems that almost all the houses we check have foundations with cracks in it. Are there any rules of thumbs to know when it comes to checking older houses with such foundations? Should we automatically assume all cracks need to be fixed, or are small fractures fine, but larger ones not so fine? 

Again, I know it might be a dumb question, but any info will help dramatically!!

Thanks (-:

1) Focus on your personal budget and personal goals in life.... Whats the end goal, how do you want to get there etc.

2) Work for/with someone better than you. In the beginning, you always want to work to learn, and not to earn. Learn the systems first hand of people that have made it and are killing it. Use it to help pave the path to the future that you deserve

Even the NDA is void because you arent of legal age (18). For that, you'll need your parents to sign for you, even then that can be sticky on who the contract binds.

But honestly, do what @Doug Pretorius recommends (which is very clever), or better yet, do what my boy Gary Vaynerchuk preaches and learn to have micro-speed and macro-patients. 

You're 15. And as you mentioned, you're really strapped on opportunities because you cant get your license and you cant sign contracts. 

Why not just intern for someone that's killing it now, so when you do turn 18, you can get your license and start killing it too. You have to work to learn before you can work to earn. 

I wouldn't stress about this situation too much because.... you're 15... Not 50. You're already killing it because 99% of other kids your age are off watching porn and smoking weed. 

Just stay determined and absorb as much information as you can.

 Gotta stay patient.

Not sure, but if I were you I would not consult bloggers for legal and tax advice of such nature, I would spend the couple hundred dollars and meet with a lawyer & CPA to get correct advice and make sure it is correct instead.

.... are you mentally stable?

Hey BPers!

I am in a pinch and need YOUR help. 

For a quick intro, I am new to real estate. My father and I own two properties - via inheritance - one in Washington and one in Arizona. For both places, I was able to successful flip and rent within a span of two months. Everything is smooth sailing.

However, now that I graduated college, I entered the workforce, placed an offer on a property yesterday, and am now awaiting answer. All is good, right?

Wrong.

Yesterday, I got word from the mortgage lender that I actually wont be able to be qualified to borrow a loan, though I make a decent salary, have plenty of money saved up, and have two income producing properties already. The lady said that because the job I am working now is not "degree related", that I need at least 2 years of professional work experience to sign on my own. That is not an option. 

So, now, here is the pinch. The only way to qualify for a loan is (a) have a parent co-sign, or (b) work a better job which is "degree related". 

Option (a) is not a choice because both parents are about to retire and are fearful of signing anything with the bank again. So it looks like option (b) is the only realistic option to pull this deal through if my offer gets accepted.

So here is where I need your help BPer's!

-- What job(s) do you recommend me to pick up in the mean time to qualify for a loan of my own. 

-My two degrees are in Political Science and Business Economics -

- Note, I am currently looking into property management, but since I technically already property manage two places, I think it would be a conflict of interest. Also, all the places I have looked at so far require at least 5 years of professional property management experience to qualify... Which I do not really undestand.

Please help!!! Thanks!
