Hi BP family! 

I bought my first property in 2018 and the last one I bought was in February of this year with a total of 4. Each Time I buy I feels like I'm starting over again… the fear, the anxiety, etc. I really want to scale but somehow I'm being held back. I don't have a mentor which could help a lot but I also find it difficult to connect with ppl who have more units than I do. Most ppl I meet at REI meetings are newbies or have my same concerns.

I’m also living in a new area (Dallas, tx) and all of my properties are in Mississippi. 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Hey hey!! Newbie here. I have an off market duplex under contract. Just got the inspection report back and need some help reviewing it. There are a ton of “minor” things that are listed and I’m not sure how to proceed. The appraisal just came back today as well and the Purchase price is 31k less than  the appraisal. I’m surprised at all of the things that came back since it’s supposed to be a move-in ready flip. 

Can someone help me walk through the inspection report?

Thank you all! That makes sense to me!  

It makes me nervous as a newbie trying to figure this all out.

Hey hey!! I’m still a newbie but I can’t help but to see what’s happening in the market over the past couple years. 

So question for the pros… which is worse? Low rates and inflated home prices or average prices and high rates. (Obviously for ppl who are financing)

I submitted an offer Monday evening via a letter (you know the letter to convince the seller to sell to you) to the seller using the listing agent. She said Monday that she sent it to the seller and someone else was going submit an offer. Tuesday she said someone else was coming to view the property so she was waiting to submit formal documentation. Wednesday she said the ppl who came Tuesday didnt want to make an offer. The agent JUST sent over the sales contract&dual agency agreement last night. I don't feel like I'm getting the best representation.

I'm in Mississippi (MS), is it too late to go get a buyers agent? 

To make it more difficult, this property was inherited so the property disclosure is blank and its an older home. built in 1920.
