I monitor the Houston forum, so I have read many of your posts - The primary theme I see in your posts is that you generously offer your time and expertise to new investors and allow a group of new or wannabe investors the opportunity to walk your flips and tag along with you while you are looking for or working on a project - very generous of you - I see that you were able to give an amazing opportunity to a new investor when she may have not had the confidence to move forward on her own without your guidance - I am a fan of collaborating with other investors when you do not have the funds to complete a project on your own ... it can be a win/win opportunity that otherwise would have to be passed up ......However, when I read the details in this post, a few things come to mind - it seems that you used very little of your own money ...$5,000?

The common theme here seems to be the "TEAM". 

You need to piece together the puzzle from multiple sources.So far the best local criminal resource I have used is through the ME State Police.

Located in booming San Antonio, TX area near Shopping Malls, Theme Park, Restaurants, Medical Center, plenty of stores in great neighborhood.

The only common theme is it being a good deal - the buyers will come (in droves)

I'm considering a 3/4 unit MFH  at the right price.I'm researching the South LA real estate in detail (it's home for me although I currently live in NYC), so curious if there are any themes or opportunities folks are seeing

My name is Margot , I am 25 and work full time for the theme parks as an industrial engineer.

I believe it is a common theme that when a lender advertises 9-12%, 9% is for the highest qualified applicants and 12% is for the people who are just above the minimums to lend on (i.e. beginners with low credit).Usually, the lenders that go down below 10% are national hard-money lenders and will not allow the borrower to put less than 10% of the total cost into the property.

I saw some themes, and some differences .

What themes should be on the agenda?
