I've been a bigger pockets lurker for some time now and thought I might throw my hat into the ring.  

If sharp price rises resume here anytime soon I'll eat my hat!

I have tremendous respect for full service Brokerages that work hard for their customers and I tip my hat to Buyer's agents ... those are the toughest one and who do most of the leg work!

Not hat one, but you can't go wrong with any of her books!

My kids are growing and I’m not around to see their milestones.I’ve chased “get-poorer-faster” schemes down rabbit holes.I’d like to do better for myself.I’m a rookie investor.I haven’t pulled my first deal yet.But I’ve worn many real estate related hats over the past years.I’ve acted as a property manager for my family.Also been a handyman, carpenter and general contractor.I worked on several rehab projects for my parents in Omaha, NE.They made mistakes in their business and got out.I want to do much better.I can do better than they did.My short term goals are to flip one property and acquire a rental by the end of the year.Longer term goals to grow my business and expand out of state.I’m currently seeking guidance, partnership, mentorship, leads, encouraging words, etc.  

Good to see someone starting their potential career in the 2-4 unit realm :)  Don't hang your hat on the FHA (203k) loan immediately.  

You cannot claim depreciation on vacant land.Real estate investors are required to wear many hats, but that doesn’t mean they should shy away from working with a reliable team.

I’m not really understanding what you are pointing outThe first one per square foot isnt hat bad so offer a little lowerThe one with the potential sink hole, when you get your real estate license how would you list the house for your client?

Would appreciate any hatting we could get!

Keys I've learned when making first contact: no sunglasses or hats, hands out in the open, stand out away from the door facing them with your head up so they can see you.
