Since 2019, this immersive conference has been the go-to event for investors looking to scale their portfolios and achieve financial freedom.Why Attend BPCON2025BPCON is not your average real estate investing conference.

@Doug Smith Yes, I put 25% down on my last investment which is what was required by my lender, whom I like.

Our team along with clients all are heavily investing in the area, and it is a strong place to start. close proximity to New York and New Jersey, paired with extremely affordable property/taxes and high rental demand make it on most people's radar.  

Thus, the realistic options are 1031 to DSTs or sell, pay tax, and invest in marketable securities!?  

Hi @Eric JohnsonAs you bein your real estate investing journey I would suggest that you assemble your team of pros around you (like the avengers) AKA Your Core 41.

I am looking forward to meeting people from different aspects of the Real Estate Investing world.

I was playing with the idea of selling my condo, taking 300k of the equity to put a down payment towards a house listed at 660k.I'm assuming the reno will run $300/sqft and going in with the assumption that phase 1 will run 750k (figure the expansion of the house will have to wait) for the gut reno.I assume/hope (but definitely not banking on) that I will be able to refi in 2-3 years at a lower interest rate; if not for a lower rate.This will likely be a family home for the next 5-10 years at LEAST so investment value isn't quite at top of mind ATM.Questions:Even if it's not for lower interest rate, do you feel it's advisable to refi to remove the 203 loan in the future?

Upfront expenses and monthly payments must be considered when calculating the return on your investment.EXAMPLEYou cash out $100,000 of your equity and use this as a down payment on a $400,000 investment property.

New to investing in the area and have been seeing a lot of posts from these guys but not sure if they’re reputable or not

One thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.
