Thanks

Why are the Top 3 all bald?

Hi, I’m a wholesale agent who is looking for investors who are interested in houses in Ohio, mainly off the market houses. I would be interested to connect with you. Thank you!

@Remington Lyman Thanks for the response! I only became aware of "passive notes" from a REIA meeting I attended any particular reason why that would be challenging?

Thanks for the responses everyone, Im still doing research but at this time I believe DSCR loans would make the most sense for buy and hold. I see alot of investors are interested in using the fix and flip strategies or BRRR which im not. If anything I would either like to buy and hold or be a passive partner. Any personal stories to share?

Hey all! I am graduating college next year and am looking for some advice about getting started in real estate investing. I like the idea of house hacking and am heavily considering this once I start my W-2 full-time position. Anything helps, I am eager to learn!

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner real estate investor based in California, exploring the idea of investing out of state — likely in single-family homes or duplexes.

I’m curious to hear from experienced out-of-state investors:

How did you decide on your market? What factors made you feel confident about the area?

What resources and tools do you use to analyze markets before committing? (e.g., job growth, population trends, landlord laws, rent-to-price ratios, crime rates, cash flow potential, etc.)

What states or cities do you recommend for a first-time out-of-state investor? Any areas you’d avoid?

I’d love to hear about your process, any lessons learned, and the specific tools, websites, or data sources you found invaluable — whether that’s BiggerPockets' calculators, Rentometer, Zillow, or others.

Thanks in advance for your insights!

Im  new to investing in Columbus and noticing a lot of the homes were built in the early 1900s. My biggest concern is structural and foundation issues—should I be worried? Are foundation problems pretty common here, and what should I be looking out for when walking through these older properties? Any advice from people investing in the area would be appreciated!

@Isaiah Cuellar recommend you connect with @Remington Lyman. He impressed my manager recently -- which is not easy to do.
