Would love to connect.I'm currently eyeing at least a 3/2 with a pool/hot tub and area for a game room outside of an HOA.Thank you!

@Stuart UdisAll great comments, seems like putting skin in the game will be a reassuring factor for any potential investors.

I have found enough business and made enough money not to need to expand outside of this market.Section 8 is a whole different ball game but I find the program is unique in that it's a 3-party relationship adding the variable of a government agency.

Good Morning BP,I bought my first house last year in Suffolk, Virginia just to get started in the real estate game.

I would get back to local real estate investor meetups so you can connect with locals to the area and kind of get back in the game slowly that way.

I would do a game room over a movie theatre.

Play games.

Keeping everyone aligned—lenders, inspectors, attorneys—prevents bottlenecks that could derail the timeline.Lastly, tackling big tasks early (like ordering inspections or raising equity) is a game-changer.

That said, you deserve a management team that treats your properties with the same level of care and attention as they would for larger clientsI’ve heard from other investors that finding a great PM company can be a game-changer.

The borrowers think they're getting a loan when in reality they're funding investor games in the secondary market.
