@Chris CoreTo find cash-flowing properties for your first investment, focus on house hacking with an FHA loan, finding properties with rents that cover your mortgage payment, using real estate investment tools like BiggerPockets, and analyzing deals in emerging markets with strong cash flow potential.

Specifically in SC, though, I would check two things - 1) see if the ATI exemption applies and actually quote the taxes for that particular property on the county tax estimator tool, and 2) get a ballpark quote from your insurance partner on the particular property.

Hey everyone,I wanted to share a couple of AI tools that I've been using lately.

I’m not looking to make real estate my full time job or anything that intense, but more tools to get me to financial independence sooner are always welcome, and this is something I think I could be good at. 

@David Randolph - my use of the word "threatened" is in regards to the statements made by, as at the time I understood it to be, the real estate agent negotiating the sale to inform me that I could be sued and a lien placed because I was refusing to sell, which would mean that either I agree to sell and put my children on the street or I refuse and they will sue to take possession and I would still put my children on the street, I took that as a threat to the well being and safety of my children, legally it may not be a threat, ethically and morally, it is to me.

You do not want to go cheap on this, especially when it's for life safety. 

On that note, if anyone is interested in tools for self-mastery, I highly recommend exploring breathwork—it’s an incredible modality for building mental resilience and focus.

NSPIRE inspections will more accurately reflect the true physical conditions of properties and ensure that property owners adopt sound maintenance practices to eliminate health and safety hazards that may pose a threat to residents.

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

In the booming market in Memphis, I've found that having the right tools can make all the difference.
