If you are in a relationship and want to invest, there is one thing you must be sure of before you start your journey.You have to be on the same page about real estate investing.Almost every story of a successful investor has a cooperative partnership and agreed view on investing as a couple (and a plan for the kids if they have them).Both parties don't have to have the same level of involvement.

Though we were the only sane ones here on BP:)- Just kidding, there are a few others.Keep posting stuff like this and hopefully it'll make a difference - no matter how small.

This law basically prevents wholesaling when the wholeseller owns title.

As with any type of investment, investors should list the estimated costs to calculate their potential profit.Costs to consider on fix-and-flipsRepairs (always be conservative)Carrying costs (interest, points)Monthly costs (utilities, HOAs, insurance, taxes)Buying costs (back taxes, cash for keys, liens, code violations)Selling costs (commissions, closing costs, transfer fees, title insurance)Unexpected costs (add $5,000 to be safe)These are the basic costs investors should consider.

They wanted a report from my plumber which basically said it was a faulty drain(not sure why they didn’t ask for that before the tenants moved out). 

I mainly work with investors/sellers/buyers in LOCATION(s)."2 of my first listings came from a kids baptism and a bachelor party.- Geo prospecting: I asked other agents in my office, networking groups, or MLS if I could market their listing.
