Hey all, I see so many posts, " I am researching, " I am doing my homework" , I am trying to build my team" "Deciding on which area"  So many are TRYING but never do anything, like a hamster on a wheel, A LOT of movement but staying in the same place. What is holding you back?  Who needs help, or just some advice. 

I started out not know a darn thing. Literally got into RE while at a family BBQ about 15 years ago. My Cuz pulled up in a new SL 500. I said, Joe, I thought you were an extra tech. Well, he was, but he took action and got into RE. So that was my ah ha moment. Within my 1st month I flipped a contract for 19k, yes 19k my 1st month. At that moment I realized there is money in this. All I did was look at a property, run the comps, and got a reno budget, So nothing to intense. My next deal while I was just about to sign the contract on a house in Glenn Cove LI. a truck pulls up. The realtor says, may I help you?  Nope says the driver with a lock and chain in is hand. I am here to lock it up, its going into foreclosure. I grabbed the contract and offered 100k less, and got it, Talk about timing. At that point I knew the universe was telling me, RE is my calling.  Well, 500 deals later, (about 15 in LI the rest in Cleveland ) there is nothing I have not done. Purchased various sheriff auctions, short sale, and just low balling. 

If you are stuck, not knowing where to turn, please feel free to reach out, happy to provide some advice.  

All the best 

We (a couple) are planning to live in a 4 bed, 3bath and renting out the 3 other bedrooms.  We want advice on tenant screening, as well as if it is a smart idea to let one of the rooms be occupied by another couple.  The driveway is not large enough to accomodate 6 cars, and the common areas may not support that many people either.  

My name is Muhammad, and I am here to inquire about investment strategies in the St Louis area, specifically near Saint Louis University. I am excited to be attending a Master’s program at the university for the next two years and would like to explore the possibility of investing in real estate during my time there.

Considering the proximity to Saint Louis University, I am particularly interested in a strategy that involves acquiring property, such as a house, townhome, or multi-family unit, and renting out rooms or units to students. I believe this approach has the potential to provide steady rental income while offering accommodation options for fellow students.

To ensure minimal distractions and maintenance responsibilities during my academic journey, I am seeking a newer property within my budget of $350,000. I am open to exploring various property types that can accommodate my living requirements while also allowing for potential rental income.

As I will be living in one of the rooms or units myself, it is important for me to have a comfortable and hassle-free living environment. Additionally, I am interested in understanding the market’s dynamics and the potential for resale or transitioning the property into a long-term investment after completing my Master’s program.

I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations you can provide regarding the best areas in the Saint Louis vicinity for this investment strategy, considering my budget and living preferences. Your expertise and advice would be invaluable as I navigate the real estate market.

Hi BP Fam, I am looking at getting my real estate license in the state of Florida. Do you have any recommendations on which course to take? 

Would love to hear your opinions! Thank you in advance!
