My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Hi All, and thank you for your help in advance. I have an opportunity to purchase an investment property that is NOT ON THE MARKET yet. Here are some of its vitals:- Zestimate: $345K (I know this is typically 10% or s...

In its current state:Current NOI: $79,058 (based on 80% occupancy).Current Cap Rate (at $1.25M): 6.32%, reflecting the property’s as-is performance.Value at a 7.5% Cap Rate (Market): $1.05M, based on current NOI.Given the renovations, vacancies, and risks tied to stabilizing the property, I’m considering offering $850K to reflect its current state and value-add potential.

I'm curious, at what point does this reflect poorly on PM and suggest I should get antoher PM?

Hey all. I run a full time flipping business, right now i am able to do 2 homes at a time. Looking to broaden my lead flow. Does anyone use, or have any experience with VA's for cold calling? I pull pretty solid lists...

If private companies continue to provide the insurance, I suspect we will see further increased premium costs which will need to be reflected in the rents tenants pay (all tenants: LTR, MTR, STR).  

As a professional property manager, I'm coming across an interesting trend related to institutions providing financial assistance for tenants who have trouble paying their security deposit and I would love to hear feedback from the BP community.Large PM companies have begun partnering with financial institutions, such as Rhino Insurance, to help tenants who struggle with paying their security deposit.

The price should reflect the current performance, not the seller’s expectations for the future.Seller financing is a big plus.

If they push back, you might consider adjusting the rent to reflect the change.

Helps me reflect on the day and see what needs to change in that
