If you’ve got strong tenant demand, proximity to top employers, or even access to public transit, you’re laying a solid foundation.

I'm looking to do a cash out refi on a duplex I have, but I cannot find any reviews online or much of an online presence for them.

This deal highlights the power of well-executed renovations and a strong partnership in achieving impressive profits.

Its affordability, ongoing revitalization initiatives, and strong rental market contribute to its appeal.

Seeing your intro is a breath of fresh air.. what's your next step in building a strong investment network?

Hi Steven,It sounds like you and your wife, Renee, have a wealth of experience in the real estate and construction fields, which is a great foundation for starting your real estate investing business.Given your background in residential remodeling and home inspections, and Renee's experience as a real estate agent, you're off to a strong start.

Here are some indicators to help you assess a buyer's seriousness:Questions: Serious buyers will ask detailed questions about the property, such as maintenance costs, neighborhood amenities, and property taxesStrong Offer: If a buyer makes a strong offer quickly, it often indicates a high level of interest and intent to purchasePrivate Buyers: If approached by a private buyer, ensure they provide a Letter of Intent (LOI) and proof of funds.  

If your property management company is good and has built an internal maintenance team which has set rates and had strong relationship relationships with licensed contractor which should keep costs in control, you should never need to shop contractors on your own I wouldn't think.So in short, our policy is give us your preferred contractors upfront if you have them, but then we work all tickets to resolution including dispatch, and payment of invoices.This is of course for operational expenses.  

Just make sure the appreciation rate is strong where you buy. 

I have access to contractors, lenders, and have a very strong balance sheet, so just need to find the right deal and get access to comps.
