My name is Tremaine Kwasikpui, and I am excited to join this vibrant community of real estate enthusiasts and professionals. As a local real estate investor and agent, I have dedicated my career to understanding the intricacies of the housing market in our area. My journey in real estate began several years ago, driven by a passion for helping individuals find their dream homes and making sound investment decisions.

I specialize in residential properties, focusing on both buying and selling, as well as identifying lucrative investment opportunities. My approach combines thorough market analysis with a deep understanding of client needs, ensuring that each transaction is beneficial for all parties involved. I believe in the power of networking and collaboration, which is why I am eager to connect with fellow members here on BiggerPockets.

In addition to my work in real estate, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. I regularly attend workshops and seminars to stay updated on industry trends and best practices. I look forward to sharing insights, learning from your experiences, and contributing positively to our community.

Thank you for welcoming me into this forum!

First off congrats on having this near two colleges. I work at a college campus and our students are always looking for housing. I would try and find comps for rooms and see what amenities they include. Does your listing include water, lights, internet, washer/dryer,etc. 

If so I would ensure that you factor that into your room cost.  Padsplit and roomster gives good comps in my local area of Houston, TX. Lastly, maybe check the housing boards and see how much the room and board cost for a single room.

This is exciting and I would love to follow to see how things go.

 Thank you. I appreciate this. I will keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I bought my first home in 2011 for 45k with an arm. The monthly payment is $436 and I we rent it for $750 a month.  This home is in rural northeastern nc.

The home has 34k left on loan and the sales price potential is around 125k. 

I am looking to cash out some money and use for a new property and begin renting my current home here in TX.  I have talked with a lender and they said I can cash out about 99k. I will use the funds to buy new property, pay off the 34k and potentially start some additional Buy and rehab deals.

Would love thoughts from the group?
