Quote from @Jay Hinrichs:

just a side note I get leads as well.. And what I find out is there is no context to them folks dont take the time to explain what they want.. also on the form i get from BP it cuts off the e mail address if its a long one so I cant even e mail them back..

But we do have to remember BP is basically an incubator site but there is plenty of active investors watching etc so there are lots of highly qualified folks as well.

Seems to me BP is justs following the same play book as Zillow RE leads.. But I do know they are concerned about FAKE lenders so that is a good thing. 


 we do much better organic and thought the cost for BP was very high compared to using other avenues - what we also see no matter where you are promoting is a lot of the leads want to pick your brain or want 100% financing... If you do this, make sure you have a separate email address just for them.


U know I offer 100% financing and very few people actually contact me.. But of course we are very particular so most would not qualify anyway..

I think it's odd that non-VA 100% financing is so underutilized. I, and I'm sure you guys do also, have EPM's FHA Forgivable DPA product that I think is great for first time investors. It's BPC, but with the right house, the seller can pay that plus the closing costs. Then they can streamline refinance in 7 months! Such a good product. Maybe I'm just not marketing it right.


 My wife and I did this about 13 years ago we had the chafa program I didn't know this was still available to first time  home buyers 

it is essentially down payment assistance you put the majority of the down payment into a 2nd loan 30year fixed with means your mortgage payment go up like 100.00,  we then payed off that with the tax savings the following year..

don't quote me I am not a advisor . Entertainment purposes only

well said !!

This is an investment type/ learning platform to be sure!

I get it it is exciting to hear the testimonials and the excitement of personal and financial  independence! I have to admit I have reached to REA  only to talk about current home ownership and options moving forward. 

perhaps a/an  F A Q page could get answers with future questions ?

i don't  want to step on any toes. I think the platform is helpful, although it is a little intimidating to navigate, with so many types of investing options I think its a great platform

google lol
Debt service coverage ratio (DSCR): The DSCR is a financial metric that compares the property's net operating income (NOI) to the loan payments. Lenders typically require a DSCR of at least 1.2 to 1.25, which means the property's NOI must be at least 120-125% of the annual loan payments.

this would be a boost to the investing time
