Your wasting peoples time and good natured sense to help others.  

Per your DM.  You don’t ask questions on this forum for the benefit of others in the future for people and situations that don’t exist in the current world.  Those future people and future questions.  Almost no new user, uses the lookup function.   Don’t know what you are trying to sell.  But state it clearly and then move on.

There something called "paying it forward." Most seasoned investors didn't make it on their own. They had help and now there is an opportunity to pass along knowledge.

     What are your top 3 forums to contribute to?


 I focus on Los Angeles County posts, House Hacking, and Buying and Selling

     Why does it makes sense to invest in L.A.?


1) With rent control, it keeps inventory low, thus high appreciation for rents.

2) Higher dollar appreciation. 3% increase on a $1M value is higher than a 3% appreciation on a $100,000 value. 

3) Same as #2 but with rents.

4) Because of the above, you could argue that you are generating a higher net worth faster. 

5) Expensive markets like LA, NY, and SF can be great for house hackers.

6) Because I first bought in LA and then bought a second house hack, I have been able to leverage business partner, HELOCs, and a 1031 exchange and now have 15 doors between four states and I haven't had to put a down payment of my own money (or at least BRRRR and got my money back).

     Woah about how long did it take to compound 1 door to 15 doors?

Quote from @Scott Mac:

Cash money, seasoned in a bank account, plus the ability to qualify for a loan - credit history, job length, etc...

The other two that you mentioned seem to go hand in hand. Your reputation is based on your experience.

Have you been successful in this in the past, or have you made mistakes and found ways to overcome them.

Just my 2 cents.

How big are the REI projects you're involved in? in other words what is your investment criteria?

Asking for a friend

There're all these forums about investing or networking. My friend would LOVE to get to the bottom of this before they spend their time on what yields a smaller harvest.

What's more valuable Skills or Stripes? Experience or Reputation && Why?

Feel free to:

- Vote up to help others find this post.

- Tag a friend who would/could benefit from this discussion.

Quote from @Theresa Holl:

Hey Emily- It sounds like you have a lot of complementary skills to offer.  The key is probably determining your specific target market and a clear message about how you can help them.  Also, having a simple online presence that tells your story will make a big difference.

Quote from @Twannisha Jackson:

i want to hear about it all. investors only tell me about the good stuff, i would also like to hear the bad. i know how it goes, not everything is black & white. investors only talk to you when they have good news, brag, or they want something from you. i like to find others to talk to once a week at least. need the motivation/accountability. i like to talk about real estate because it’s interesting.

     I agree.
