unfortunately that hack isn't something i can swing w my current stage in life. not even 2y into a new mortgage, wife + kids, etc. all constrain me from going that route.but yes, definitely avoiding the too-good-to-be-true types. if it's overly damaged or in areas w moderate or more crime ratings then i don't even bother looking.at this point i'm not worried about getting good cashflow so much as get over the hump of the fear, the knowledge gap, etc on this first one in order to get the feet wet.how/where did you start out?

You're consuming a lot of width which means perimeter space us being used for bathrooms and stairs which can be placed on the interior.

Hello,I am a small business owner who has just made it over the business hump and am interested in investing my time and money into real estate.

I really hope I can get over this hump and get my first property soon.

Right on Caleb, And how did you get yourself over that first hump? 

(In a month I will have 10 conforming loans in my name only, so both of us being on the loan is not an option) I'm currently wrapping up a delayed financing refi on another property (Brown St Property) I own, and they've asked me to provide a source for the funds used to purchase the Brown St Property. 

Happy hump day!

All the books in the world won't get me over the hump of doing it out my own and starting off.

We added value to this deal by making the following cosmetic changes:- Repainted the entire unit- Updated all outlets and covers to be uniform (a few USB where applicable)- Updated all light switches to 'flat panel'- Updated kitchen cabinet and drawer hardware- New stove & range- New sink outlet- New kitchen ceiling fan- New toilet- Deep clean & high quality post/advertising to emphasize the value the condo has to offer What was the outcome?

Hi, everyone does anyone know what's the best way to get a home inspector on your team as part of your business I just started a real estate investment group a year ago and I'm trying to build my team and part of us being straight Foward and honest with sellers and buyers is to have estimates and inspection done so my deals stand out making my offer firm to buyers and sellers at the point of price I would like to know if anyone has a idea of how I can maybe set up a contract with a home inspector so that I'm able to pay after the deal goes through the reason being is that if I have an inspection done on a sellers property it's gonna cost I believe 500$ in my area so that the seller knows exactly why I have made my offer for whatever amount and have my inspections back up my offer but if the offer is not excepted I don't want to be throwing money away does anyone have any ideas
