Thanks for the warm welcome.

An old childhood friend of mine who has a decade more experience than me actually puts a monthly luncheon of investors and guest speakers. I have been attending and am learning a great deal.

Hey guys. I'm looking at placing an offer on my first Foreclosure and am looking to acquire it for around 45k with an asking price of around 56k. Looking at the public info online it appears it sold for 78k a few years ago and now is vacant and in not too bad a shape at first glance (a few thousand for paint and flooring I hope) My goal, if all goes according to plan is to improve appraisal value so that I can use that equity to grab more properties. I've been pretty blessed with my first two purchases in grabbing some equity plus I put some money down. I need some concrete ways to help improve my appraisal cost after and if I can close on it. Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Hello everybody. My name is Zach and I live in north Louisiana. I currently have 4 rental properties and help manage another that my parents inherited. I slowly fell into being a landlord around 2010 and have since decided that I want to be an investor and want to absorb as much knowledge as possible while acquiring more houses. I don't want to be a nurse the rest of my life and buy and hold is what seems to fit my personality. I look forward to participating in the BP forums. Happy Investing!!!
