I get these data through a partner that's a real estate agent so I know what you're talking about.

Quote from @Quinzel Waiters: Hello all I'm new to the Real estate space but I'm working on getting my first off market dealCurrently I'm looking at a heavily distressed property that's priced too high.

I find that it's almost a one stop shop in that I can use it for my business checking and savings accounts, bookkeeping, for rent collection, I can issue virtual credit card, I can create all the financial reports I need to run my real estate business and prepare for tax filing and through their partners I can vet my tenants, develop state-specific leases and more.

Otherwise, I’d save my cash for the next acquisition.I’d also be posting on every social media platform and telling everyone I knew that I was looking for more real estate deals.

Quote from @Evan Malburg: Hey BP Community, I'm new to investing, but not new to real estate.

"I know far too many people who regret selling real estate looking back 20 years, but I've yet to come across one who regrets keeping it."

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The affordability and cash flow potential are real, but so are the challenges.

Partner with a real estate marketing company out of Las Vegas or Provo, Utah to market, promote and advertise the “mentorship” system consisting of the free seminar, followed by the modest fee weekend workshop, followed by the $15,000 - $40 000 full mentorship program.Here are the usual results1- 99% of “students” never earn back the cost, despite 1000s of wasted hours2- students learn nothing of real estate principles, real estate finance and real estate law which are the necessary foundation blocks of knowledge necessary for a SUSTAINABLE career in real estate investment 3- with hundreds or thousands of “students” unleashed on the real estate selling public they’re AT BEST an annoyance of trying to do “unrealistic” deals, AT WORST lead to a disastrous result for vulnerable homeowners.4 - The career real estate investors, service providers, brokers, lenders, etc are so disgusted with all of it and the outcomes they see that that can’t even comprehend that the subject technique or strategy does have a legitimate use when utilized (1) by and experienced and well capitalized buyer and (2) full disclosure is provided all parties with legal representation.  

I’ve been in real estate and mortgage for over 30 years, and if there’s one thing I know for sure—it’s that there’s always more to learn.
