I work for a flooring company as a designer and meet contractors and people who flip homes regularly so it has me flirting with the idea of doing it myself.My question is, how did you get your spouse to be on board with real estate investing?

Nice to meet you.   

In my market, right now, most anything you bought at 70% of value still wouldn't meet that rule.

Doing so, should lead to you meeting other investors that you can then learn from about flipping and rentals.EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU:)You just have to work for it!

Because of my savings and lack of expenses, I'm in a very comfortable position to make my first move, but because my income is mid, I'm unable to meet the Debt-to-Income requirements to qualify.

We invest in some deals because they meet our Hurdle Rate/Return on Investment objectives. 

By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

I’d love to discuss how I could help the organization by purchasing it and restoring it to productive use.”Request a Meeting: Ask for a meeting with the person or committee responsible for property management.

Hi all, and nice to meet everyone.

So, I don't want to expand that tool beyond what it is today.1) If anyone out there knows of such a dashboard for a small investor (I have 5 commercial leases and 14 residential), please share the information on where I can buy a template.2) If any of you are interested in working together to develop this tool, I am happy to meet and build a wish list for features that we can divide up the work and complete it faster.
