Connecting with contractors, property managers, and other investors has been invaluable in helping me learn from their experiences and navigate challenges more effectively.

Share your thoughts, tips, and experiences—let's help each other navigate these opportunities!

You often hear from real estate investors who scaled businesses  attribute their success to great contractor relationships, a realtor who helped identify an underserved housing need, lenders who gave them a chance despite not having a balance sheet, even good attorneys who navigated them through entitlements or perhaps accountants who educated them on tax saving strategies.  

Definitely weigh the pros and cons, and as always, consulting with a real estate attorney or financial advisor may help you navigate this transition smoothly.Hope this helps and best of luck with your continued growth!

An agent who invests themselves will often have insights into investor-friendly lenders and can help you navigate the requirements, including debt-to-income ratios and how to factor rental income into your mortgage qualification.
