Quote from @Ari Dandridge:
Hello Bigger Pockets community! I have a question for anyone who's willing to answer. I'm concerned about which bank I should use for this business LLC. I'm currently leaning toward Chase Bank with US Bank as a close second. Unfortunately I've heard that US Bank gets tricky when moving large amounts of money so I'm wary of working with them. I'm also crossing Fifth Third off the list of banks I want to use because I don't believe they are user friendly.
If anyone has recommendations or advice it would be much appreciated.
There also non-FDIC options that pay interest rates as high as 8% that you can access if you are an accredited investor. Again very suitable for large amounts of money as these options are asset-backed rather than government-backed.
Message me if you would like to learn more about either of the above.

Quote from @Abhishek Ghuwalewala:
I'm a rookie looking to buy my first deal out of state. I found the Augusta-Richmond-Columbia county area attractive based on my market analysis. My strategy is to BRRRR but am also open to an attractive fix and flip. I'm looking to learn from investors who've been successful with this strategy in the area. Would love to connect and hear any advice you are able to share to help a rookie out.
Thanks so much in advance!

Quote from @Kyle Deboer:
I am 18 years old with very little credit history and little capital. I am eager to start but can't get around the glaring issue of not having initial capital so I was wondering if there are any methods you guys would use to raise capital if you were in my shoes or is it just time to put my head down and put in long hours?

Quote from @Nate Garvey:
I am getting started in real estate investing, with plans to buy my first rental by the end of this year or early next. Is paid mentorship worth the price? How do you vet the person to make sure they are who they say they are? I subscribe to someone's newsletter I connected with on Linked In. He offers $50/month coaching with direct access to him, and other benefits. The price seems reasonable, but I'm not sure how to vet his credentials. What is a reasonable amount to pay for a legit coach?
@Nate Garvey A legit coach is going to charge you a few thousand dollars a month. $50/month probably just gets you access to his newsletter.
Hi Nate, is greeneconsultingstl.com supposed to be a working site? Wanted to learn more about what you do...

Quote from @Oluwaseyi Odusami:
Hey Folks — I’ve been digging into how we as investors analyze deals beyond spreadsheets and wanted to ask:
What tools or workflows are you currently using to get:
✅ ARV comps
✅ Rehab estimates (Automated..)
✅ ROI and profit clarity
I’m building something new in this space, but I’m trying to better understand real-world needs from active flippers. Would love to hear what’s working for you — or what’s still frustrating.
What works best for me is partnering with general contractors. I provide the capital, and they both find and work the property and we split the upside. It's very hands-off from my end, happy to discuss more one-on-one.

Dear all,
I currently manage a $27M personal portfolio substantially built with raised capital. I manage over $15M of client capital, over $10M of which was raised during the last 12 months. I'd like to share the exact method I use to raise capital and grow my portfolio. If this is of interest to you, please join one of the following regular weekly sessions:
8:30am PST Fridays: meet.google.com/doi-nkav-xmp
5:00pm PST Fridays: meet.google.com/fqk-nvqs-frf
These sessions run every week and will take you from whatever level you are at, complete beginners and seasoned capital raising professionals are equally welcome, all the way up to running your own investment bank. Curious? Then I'll see you Fridays.
Best,
Austin.

Dear all,
Over the last 12 months, I've raised over $10M and acquired a wide range of assets, and that's experience I would love to have the opportunity to share freely. If you are prepared to be online with me for 30 minutes once a week (either 8:30am or 5pm Fridays PST), I can show you how to get started raising capital to expand your own portfolio. If this is knowledge you would like to acquire, please join one of the following two sessions:
8:30am PST Fridays: meet.google.com/doi-nkav-xmp
5:00pm PST Fridays: meet.google.com/fqk-nvqs-frf
Best,
Austin.

Dear all,
I currently own 33 houses and a $5.5M stake in 2000 units of multifamily across AL, AR, CA, FL, IL, IN, MA, MO, MS, OH, OK, PA, TN, and TX. I'm looking to network with people that have either built large portfolios or wish to build large portfolios. I'm also getting into fund management, currently manage $10.5M of client capital with $21M of assets on the books including cash, stocks, and renewable energy in addition to the real estate. I'm extremely open and willing to share everything that I do. So let's get a conversation going!
Best,
Austin.
