Hello and good morning bigger pockets fam, I am seeking guidance and thoughts into starting out in real estate.

The most obvious example is when a borrower misses a payment, or two, or three.  

I have three promissory notes.Please advise.John Twomey

I have reached out to a few agents that I found via Bigger Pockets and am waiting to hear back.

(If curious, my residential real estate investor clients from 10 years ago [you can find my 10 year old bigger pockets dot com posts :], at the time buying up 2-4 unit properties, a lot of them are now done with the 'human' tenants and want to 1031 into something that is ACTUALLY passive, so yes Starbucks comes up, thus I watch it).In my case I zoomed all the way into a specific brand (which then allows me to make very sweeping generalizations across an entire state -- but still not the entire country), I'm not suggesting you do that, but SOME of the variables need to be narrowed down, before you can gain any useful insights. 

I would probably focus on three things.  1) filling the vacancy for as close to the old rent as possible (to help with refinancing or selling 2) refinance it and talk to a few different banks/brokers.  3) If all else fails, list it and 1031 into another project. 

Quote from @Marise Sfeir: Hi i am interested in Dubai Market for investing and Airbnb, does Bigger pocket cover Dubai Market will i benefit from your tools and offerings or not?

BP does not recommend investmentsPS: I recommend searching BP to see if anything as well as head over to passive pockets to see if any discussions there as well.

However building built in 1922.....I have tried THREE (17,000), steadily can't find a carrier, Statefarm, Farmers, Amfam.  

Provided that both markets are appreciating at the same pace I would rather own one $600,000 duplex then three $200,000 ones.
