After years of analysis paralysis I finally purchased three duplexes in Monroe MI.  I've joined my local Landlord Association and i'm saving for my next property. I live just four miles from Toledo in Temperance MI and am looking to connect with local investors as well as members on Bigger Pockets.  

Hey everyone, 

My current primary residence is financed through a private loan with a family member and does not show up in my credit report. If I go to purchase a new primary residence or investment property, will I need to report this loan or not? My plan is to buy a new primary residence and rent this current house out, but my DTI would not qualify for much of a new loan if this private loan counts. I hope that makes sense and thank you for the help!

Hey All,

As I said, I'm new to this, to investing in real estate. I was an agent in the past (long time ago) but always wanted to get into the investing side, not that my wife and I have settled in Connecticut I want to start investing in multiple unit properties in my area. 

I'm looking for blogs, books, and general advice to help me get started. I would also like to grow my network.

I'm specifically looking for advice on the financial side, the advantages to a HELOC or personal investment, how those are paid back, how to continue investing after the first property.

But really anything would help, any and all resources to help me get started in this journey. 

Hello, I'm new to investing, and with the current prices against current rents, I'm finding it difficult to get properties to cash flow. As far as I know, I am pretty thorough with the calculators. Is it just me?  Or is it the current state of the market? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have 6 houses in Fredericksburg, TX that we built from the ground up using a construction loan, that just recently rolled over into a 25 year at 4.5% principal and interest until the maturity date of April, 2027 where it will be a balloon payment.

Due to the rising interest rates, I wanted to see when is the soonest I could re-fi out of the current loan with a cash option to lock in a 25-30 year rate and pull out some cash that was used for the build. Also, wanted to know what an appraisal fee might be for a commercial loan that has 6 STR's on the propery.
