Readers should seek professional advice.

Hello BP Community,I'm seeking some seasoned advice on starting in RE investing.Context: I'm an underwriter at one of the world's largest commercial insurance firms, specializing in commercial property insurance underwriting.

If commercial properties, you can seek loans from small local credit unions and banks that base it off of the debt service coverage ratio and regularly provide loans in the 7s.You can also seek commercial loans on residential properties as well.

I would suggest seeking off market properties.

Hi everyone,

Challenge...

Are you seeking value add?  

I have already filed a formal complaint with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) regarding this matter.Given the circumstances, I am seeking your advice on whether pursuing action in small claims court would be a recommended course of action. 

I, like many used to think “newbies” posted questions or asked for “help” to obtain the best advice from experienced investors, obtain guidance on strategic alternatives, or get a qualified opinion on whether the latest hot guru was worth the $40k price of admission.But, I was WRONG.No, none of those reasons are why newbies come to BP.They don’t want to find out that their “revelation” about how to invest has been tried about 10 million times - with limited successThey don’t want to learn that without capital, knowledge and experience their willingness to commit weekends is near uselessThey don’t want our opinion that they should skip trying to wholesale and spend some time learning as a licensed agentThey don’t want advice that has them taking classes at community colleges or learning real estate law, finance, or principles.So WHAT do they seek when they come to BPThey want comfort, encouragement. and to be told their thoughts are correct.

I know that your question is general, but if you seek someone in the Philadelphia area, DM me.
