I know that for many new investors, to have a good credit score and be able to qualify for loans are crucial for the exercise of the BRRRR or any related strategies. So here is a small contribution of mine:

This seems legit and the review is honest. Give it a try, you may see your FICO go up for a little bit by simply connect your utility bills to it. Who knows, you might be able to qualify a loan or lower your points/interest just by a bit. 

Good luck!

Hi everyone. I'm a visualization expert specializing in Tableau development. I think we can use some public available data to analyze different cities to identify potential deals. Anyone interested in helping me to get some data pipeline built?

I think I'm going to build a San Antonio Real Estate resource page on Tableau Public. Any kind of public data sources I can use?

After listening to like 200 podcasts and watch a bunch of videos you probably still feel like not sure what to do because every featured guest who've successfully done wholesale use somewhat different method in different markets. Nonetheless, there are a couple of good podcasts that can give you a hint. You will need to find out who's operating in your area and offer your free service for learning opportunity. The concept is pretty simple, find houses that are rundown and owners are motivated to sell at a heavy discounted price, and somehow convince the owner to sell it to you while connect the property to a flipper who is willing to pay you a fee to get it. Essentially, you are acting as a middle man. As far as I can tell, it takes quite a bit of leg work and very thick skin to make it from the start. What you can offer at the starting point is your analytical skill and perhaps technical knowledge on how to organize an email or web promo campaign. 
 

Hi folks, I am a new investor looking for deals and building a team in Texas. I live in Austin and I've done 4-5 flips and buy-n-holds here. The cost of remodeling in Austin has increased tremendously in the last few years making the flip/brrrr somewhat challenging. I have been looking at some surrounding areas like San Antonio, San Marcos.

Though Dallas and Houston are good options, I decided against them due to the distance of travel. To me, if I want to invest in a city like Dallas that will cause me 10 hour round trip to visit, it makes no difference than buying one at a midwest city that take the same amount of time to fly in and out.

What I want to learn is how to tell what is a good area in San Antonio for BRRRR. Is the AFB a good area for rental income?

If you have some insights please share, and I am going to do some in depth analysis and report back to you my findings.
