Alfred,

These are excellent ways to boost your presence locally. I highly recommend you refer to Brandon Turner's recent live event (I think it was recorded) on how to invest when the market is hot. There were some great tips that may help you find properties to wholesale. 

Do you currently own a home?

Welcome Tina! Sounds like you've got your head in the right place...here at BP you'll keep it there. Between you and your sons, I believe you're set up to do a few different kinds of property investing. Consider AirBNB in the overcrowded destination places in Las Vegas. Of course, these homes would need to be furnished. I work at Mattress Firm and am willing to help out my BP friends get a bed(s) for a good price. I have a question for @Thomas Franklin that might help others in the post: Thomas, What type of lender is best to use for financing a deal inside a business entity for flips/rentals? That's the main challenge I'm having with setting one up for the immediate time. Best Regards, Josh Waggoner

John, Welcome to BP! I love Florida and have visited several time in my youth. My family and I live in Texas. We just flipped a property that jumped in value 50% in 1.5 years. Now we're in the fixer upper contemplating whether to move out and sell it or rent it. All the best to you as you learn the ropes on rehabbing. I'm curious your thoughts on financing the deals. What options look best for you? Best Regards, Josh Waggoner

Thanks Alfred! I see you're in Grand Prairie, TX. What's your experience so far in Real Estate?

My good friends on BP,

My wife and I just finished our first official FLIP! We remained married and profited. Whew! Now for our current fixer upper in Grand Prairie, Texas:

We need your best recommendations. We need a solid Electrician, Siding, Foundation and Garage Door expert. Please message me the contact info if you have personally used any of these pros and loved their quality and their price.

Best Regards,

Josh Waggoner

Welcome Randy! 

I agree with @Mindy Jenson that you are way past newbie status here. However, I'm confident there are things you didn't know you didn't know that will save you time, headache and money. Welcome to the best site for RE Investors!

Best Regards,

Josh Waggoner

This is a legitimate celebration. Congrats BP for providing consistent and solid value to the real estate investing community! -Josh Waggoner

Well a big thank you to all who've welcomed me in so rapidly! I appreciate the support already and look forward to providing others with some lessons learned along the way. 

Rubelyn, I fully agree and shamelessly promote being different. After all, normal typically means being broke. Thanks for the webinar link...I'll check it out!

Michael, I love your down to earth assessment of what very easily could consume my life. I am one that goes 100% into things when diving. However, looking back, my current home has been a year and a half of just waiting until the market did something different. It was refreshing to "forget" about this plan for a while since we knew we couldn't do anything further at the time. A good friend keeps reminding me: "Do what's in front of you...Do what you can." That's all anyone can expect from themselves! Thanks for your feedback on the pace of the build...right now is going to be the slowest it's ever been in my journey cause once the snowball starts rolling and picking up volume, things start getting really exciting.

I'm so glad to be a part of an amazing group!

Hello,

I'm Josh Waggoner. My family and I have always been a bit eccentric and willing to do things the weird way. We are soon to close on our second home and move into that one. We will sell our current one at that time to reap the increase in market value. THEN, we'll be ready to do some investing in Real Estate. I'm all ears on how to go about doing things the right way.

Targets of Interest:

1. How to avoid the banks as soon as possible and use all cash.

2. How to get your own license to avoid agent fees once I learn how to be one myself. 

3. How to set up the be tax sheltering entity while I'm still employed at the day job making W-2 income.

Things I Love to Help Others With:

1. Budgeting...it's essential to keeping on target and knowing where you're going!

2. The process of setting one's own financial situation up to get ready to buy their first home.

3. How to live beneath your means to more than make ends meet. (Can I hear a less stressful life about to happen??)
