Hello investors and passionate property owners! I just wanted to reach out to introduce myself. My name is Paul Hearn, and I am a new real estate agent in the Memphis area with a burning desire to work with investors ...

I gravitate towards "red states" given the landlord-friendly laws and relative ease of evictions, which unfortunately are unavoidable in the buy and hold game.

Hey Juliann - Reach out to local investor-friendly realtors and GC's.

From investor friendly agents, lenders, escrow companies, anyone for a new wholesaler and soon investor. 

I’ve been managing commercial real estate for about 10 years and want to start investing in real estate.Outside of real estate, I enjoy golf, live music, hanging out with friends and familyExcited to learn and connect with you all!

I've had qualified renters move into a rental, add their bum friends or family members, and then disappear, leaving me with bad renters who weren't approved and aren't on the lease.The best practice is to screen every adult, approve them, and add them to the lease. 

Always introduce yourself as ..John or maybe Reagan is better....Maybe like hi I'm Reagan like the President, your friendly neighborhood realtor....that's how they will remember you and you want them to remember you. 

I've read BiggerPockets' Real Estate Investing book and am particularly interested in the house hacking strategy, as I'd like to move out of my current living situation.Our main dilemma is choosing between a single-family home (renting out one room to a close friend) or a multifamily property like a duplex or triplex.

The LLC is a partnership between myself and another friend who's also an investor.

The way we have done it is to borrow from my 401K, when I pay mine back borrow from hers and repeat this cycle so we always have one we can pull from. 3) This option will be controversial but I have taken out private money loans with family and friends.
