@Josh Arras I usually watch the webinar videos that are on the dashboard. But thank you. I will look into the live calls and listen in.

Hiya @Josh Arras. I’m also doing great. Getting back into the swing of things after having to take some time off. I signed up for REIBB at one of the boot camps in Oct of 2016. It’s definitely packed full of everything a person can think of to run their RE business. So much that I’ve had some sensory overload lol. Luckily I got in before the polar pricing changed. The reason I asked about markets like NYC is because I’ve been having some challenges. My investor friends and I had Brad come for a 3 day mentoring session last February. NY’s mls didn’t work 100% well with the equity analyzer. The information we were able to compile gave us a nice list of would be available properties but once we started making the calls, every single house listed as new or available was already in contract. Safe to say, not every state has their MLS regulated by the same rules. As awesome as it was to sit with Brad for those days, it felt like we were back at square one. I’d really like to try a different market in a different state. The advice that I’ve gotten from my RichDad mentors is “always invest in your own backyard” & “get out there and do a deal ASAP or chances are you’ll end up never doing one”. These words are the rock and the hard place lol. So I say all of that to say, how am I to put my REIBB membership to good use without actual properties in my portfolio? Do you guys allow for partnerships where I could basically market properties for someone who may have deals? I’m open to all suggestions so that I can keep my membership yet not waste $100/month on something I can’t use right now. Thanks in advance -Jolene

@Brenda Birhiray Congrats Brenda. I’m 42 & some months so please tell me what all you did to get your first property

 @Josh Arras ...how are you? As a super newbie, would you still recommend REI Blackbook to someone who has yet to purchase their first investment property? Is the software in general, good for any market? Or would you say it works better in some areas than in others? My concern is the more competitive areas like NYC and LA. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Would love to meet you all. Wehnever your next session is, I'd love to be there. Excited to see people who are actually investing in NY. Most of the training I recieved were from investors in places like St. Louis, Kansas City and the more rural areas of Florida. Can't wait to get my hands on my first investment property through notes, tax liens or setting up a buy & hold renting to a government agency.

Hilary Catton Good morning and thank you for asking for our feedback. I love the site overall. Not too many things I would complain about. The information is vast so I guess just knowing what you are looking for before any search would help you not feel too overwhelmed. With that being said though, I’d like a page or faq post explaining the difference between the monthly pro and the annual pro memberships. I’m paying a monthly pro and don’t have access to pro members only perks that was supposed to come with that package. Not sure if it was a glitch or purposeful but some explanation would be more than helpful for myself and anyone else who is thinking of going pro on a monthly basis. Also, explain the grandfathering process of an old locked in membership rate should someone decide to upgrade their account from free to plus or either pros. A small financial breakdown would be nice. Thanks again for your post.

Hi Everyone, Sorry I fell of the grid for a bit. Had to take some time off to get some health issues under control. Thank you all for such an amazing thread. Llewelyn A. You can take over any day. Lol. The information you have shared is golden. I’d be willing to see firsthand how your POV on the NY market is formed. Cheers and happy investing- Jolene

I so wish I lived closer to you guys. Have a great Meetup. FYI...I am definitely open to being a semi long distance investor.

Awesome job Robert!

Luz Espiritusanto Hi there... I’m in Brooklyn and looking for a good place to buy my first rental. Can we talk?
