I run Blaze Real Estate a property management company in Amarillo.

Guys, I’m trying to track down one of the guests I heard on the Real Estate Rookie podcast a couple of months ago.

I first started out in Real Estate by house hacking in college. 

When evaluating a potential real estate investment, both the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) and the 50% Rule can be helpful tools.

I started my career at 19 or 20 years old getting my real estate license.

@Joel Bongco how do you go about setting it up for real estate investors?

All real estate transactions in SC must be conducted by real estate attorneys.

I have a property in Memphis...and frankly no matter how much I've spent on property management (have had three, all promise the sky and deliver next to nothing), I have gotten the run around by the property management team in all three cases, which has deterred me from investing further in Memphis real estate.

I will be managing and will be paying a real estate agent friend to show the properties for me.
