If you’re just getting started in real estate, feel free to reach out – I’ve been coaching a new investor in the Houston market for a while and am happy to help you however I can.

Hi everyone,I’m new to real estate investing and am eager to make my first rental property purchase.

Hi @Alex Lee I would avoid 203K loan and work with conventional renovation loan based on knowing you'll be forced to use 203k certified contractors which will cost more money and offer inflated pricing because they must follow 203k guidelines. 

@Duke Butterfield no one can really answer whether or not real estate is a good choice for you - except YOU!

Give me money so I can prove some guy on BiggerPockets wrong? 

Check fees are $10**** When buying physical real estate, you must have a 10% cushion of the purchase price**We waive the first 6 transaction review fees for the life of the account.*** The first 12 incoming checks are free each year.

I went with Vivint.com they have a great smart home system no wifi needed, streams on your phone in real time anywhere you are, tamper protection, security alerts and motion detectors and will notify policy if you have a break in.

I've been juggling a W2 while also doing real estate investing (BRRR, flip, RE license).

Real Estate is a belly to belly business.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.
