Love your mindset—real estate is a long game, and you're starting with the right attitude!

DSCR loans are based off of down payment, credit score and either actual or market rents so it helps to supercharge an investor's real estate goals and net worth.

The returns that investors require is generally based on their perceived risk of the project and the investment period.With my CFO clients who do real estate development, most LPs in the small-scale residential space (SFR & 2-4 MF) are investing for 3-5 years and are looking for a preferred return of 8% with an IRR of 16%-18% for turn-key and 18%-24% for value add.

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!

I'm a newbie to real estate investing and am currently focused on intensely educating myself about all things real estate and how to get my first rental property deal.

I recently locked down my first property as I start on my real estate adventure. 

Figure out the cost to sell, usually 5% to the real estate agent, sometimes a "concession" fee, and other closing costs.

I used the funds to acquire real estate that appreciated signficantly.

Estimates and projections are great, but experience gives you the real numbers!

I’m curious to hear from private real estate investors who’ve faced unexpected insurance claims and were protected by an umbrella insurance policy.We often see discussions whether investors should use an LLC or an umbrella insurance policy.
