Fix and flip for profit was kind of a no brainer since I could do all the work myself.

Happy to meet you all! 

Take advantage of all the resources on BP.

I'm Paul from NorCal, passionate about real estate investing for long term rentals I'm particularly passionate about finding deals outside of California Excited to learn and connect with you all! 

I have one long term partnership that we share capital but I still do all the work ( rain maker) he is a cpa so he does do the books and tax return though :)  WE built one subdivision together were he put in 500k and I made him 1.2 mil in 18 months net profit so that was not bad.

Note it often is not a result of significant NOI change (excluding some markets where a lot of new units have been added). 3 recent studies show it is cheaper to rent than own in virtually all of the largest US markets.  

All of real estate is state specific - while nationwide laws exist the judicial courts often rule differently in different jurisdictions3. when new or inexperienced you don't know what you don't know - advice on BP or from Google searches are only a general guide - you'd be surprised at how often the advice does not apply to your specific situation4. there are often two, three, or four or more ways to accomplish the desired result.  

The art and science of it all is that you don't lead with "I want to make an offer on your house", instead, you ask the homeowner "how can I help you?"

This is not a one size fits all answer, but bad debt is non-asset based or depreciating assets - , credit cards, medical, buying dumb stuff.Good debt is debt used to make or grow your portfolio. 

Hello community, First of all, I'm so jealous of you having an amazing community like this, we don't have that in Denmark, which is where I'm from.
