@Dillon Banning

I'm new to real estate investing. I'm trying to understand what you just said. Is there any way you can explain to someone new to real estate investing what all that means?

@Patsy Waldron

This is exactly what's happening but more on the financing the repairs/remodeling of the house not the complete project. How do funds get protected in that aspect?

@Patsy Waldron

Thank you for chiming in. This is for a flip project and I would be financing it myself. I'm new to real estate investing but I'm eager to get my feet wet. I also believe it'll will build momentum if I can get this deal and move on and make 20% ROI. I meet with them this weekend to take a look at the property and see if this is something I want to really be involved in. Is this something you've been involved in before? What steps have you taken? Did you get any documents signed and notarized?

@Rosston Smith 

What if you've never met the person? Financing a deal without knowing someone is difficult for me. How do others get past that?

Hello everyone! My question here is to ask if anyone has sold their own property for retail pricing? If so, what sort of things did you do to sell it? How long did it take you to sell it? How did you go about paperwork and settlement? These are questions that pop in my head while I'm watching webinars or podcasts and I'd like to know if others have already been in this situation and how did it pan out. Thanks for your guidance in this.

Hi Folks, 

I'm new to Bigger Pockets and new to Real Estate investing. I wanted to see if anyone here has experience with financing a real estate deal and then earning a return after the property sells? If so, what has your experience been and what would you recomend for people doing this sort of investment for their first time?

Hi Elizabeth, 

I just joined BP. I'd be interested in joining a local event if you decide to have another. Not sure how I'll know when you'll have another but I'll try to check by regularly. 

Thank you,
