@Scott Jensen Perfect... this is exactly what I’m looking for. I’m a Real Estate Investor but in order to be a better one I need to be a better Project Manager. Thank you!

Congrats on taking the first step to enlightenment! If you read only these three books for the rest of your life you’d be better prepared than 99% of the population:
1. Rich Dad Poor Dad
2. The 4 Hour Work Week
3. UnF*ck Yourself (Yes, that’s a real bestselling book 🤣)

Does BP have a renovation checklist? Or does anyone here have one they created? I’d love to get the basic guideline of a good Project Manager and the checklist they go through from after the property is purchased and before it’s resold. For example: 1. Order Windows; 2. Order floors; 3. Order Cabinets; 4. Demo; Etc Etc. Thanks everyone!

I’m a real estate investor. However, I think it would be wise to get my license. How do I get my real estate license online? I don’t want to attend classes. Also, I live in NH. Thanks!
Post: $200,000 HELOC... What Would You Do?

Here are the facts: $780,000 current home value. Mortgage balance is $480,000. Applied and got approved for $200,000 HELOC that's locked in at 2.99% for the first 3 years (prime + .25% after that). I'm 40, My wife and I have 3 kids, steady income (Roughly $200,000/yr combined) and quite a bit invested in the stock market. We are both eager to start investing in real estate but aren't sure what the first step should be. We do not want to sell our current home, quit our careers (yet), or start taking HUGE risk without an overwhelming amount of due diligence. We want to get our feet wet in real estate. So, my question to all of you experts (you're all experts compared to me!)... what should be my first step? Any guidance, examples, advice or even teaming up (I live in NH about 45 mins north of Boston) would be much appreciated. Our goal: in 5 years to quit my career, be 100% into real estate, and be able to provide 100% of the income going forward (at least $200k per year). Anyways, Loving this community so far, the podcasts, and the possibility of learning from all of you!
