It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it's the right strategy for me long-term.building equity through rehab and build out will be best achieved with a lower priced cash purchase---typically wholesale. or word of mouth. depends on the region though. lots of ways to hunt for good BRRRR candidates, but hunting on the MLS typically wont get you low enough prices to make sense....My brother-in-law, who owns a landscaping company in Lee’s Summit, works with a lot of local builders and has been a huge help...This sounds like a great resource for finding subs that will do the work for you independently. most subs can do other types of work as well.If you’ve worked with trustworthy contractors or subcontractors in the Jackson County/MO area (especially those familiar with investment properties), I’d love your recommendations.

You can also do a Google search to get a ton of resources.

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

I second this - Beth is great and has a group as well where you can learn a ton on private lending.To the poster who mentioned giving them 100% financing - as a private lender NEVER give someone 100% financing.

Columbus has been coming up a lot and would love to learn more.

@Jay Sloan  Hello, for someone who is interested in learning about commercial real estate can you tell me why the proof of funds from Peter Harris' company seemed out of the ordinary? 

I will keep this very short and sweet. I am a 37 year old high school basketball coach that is not very happy with where I am financially and am seeking a way out of living paycheck to paycheck. I have listened to the...

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

(And I would tell you to not buy a property that doesn't cash flow unless you have significant resources behind you that could absorb anything that could come at you - like replacing a $5,000 AC one month followed by replacing a $1,000 hot water heater the next).
