I came across Bigger Pockets and was instantly intrigued, not only by the way they explained real estate investing to a newbie, but by the challenge it can create creatively and mentally.

They all have their challenges but just find a good manager who can handle it and I don't see any reason that 24 is too small. 

Our portfolio is finally passive but it took many years to get there.In today's market, generating lots of profitable deal is the time challenge for investors (not PM) and it takes networking, marketing, and direct to owner contact; so, we have pivoted to more passive investing with others who have full time staff dedicated to deal flow every day. 

You will get to know the industry, face new challenges where you'll learn and your money will go a longer way.

Hey Everyone,I have a deal I am analyzing and it's proving a challenge to me.

Would this make is challenging for a non-local specialist that may not be familiar with NJ/PA tax law/rules/regs?

Gerald, the first challenge you are going to find with this deal as it relates to lenders is the small purchase price and therefore small loan amount. 

If your real estate attorney specializes in closings, they might not be the best choice for entity structuring advice.You should be crystal clear on your own objectives long before you engage an attorney.

I came across John Cochran aka the "King of systems" and of systems Saturday videos..so he has a 90 day investment challenge where he provides info and coaching for 90 days and all deals are split 50/50 but he asks for a $2,000 upfront deposit which he says you get back on the first deal.Anyone have any info or reviews on this?

Credit challenged people come in all forms.
