My first step is to ingest all of the "starter" information on this wonderful platform that my mind can handle.  

Everything is a gamble.

It's not Homesearch, they're all the same.....they are simply a platform for the banks selling their properties.  

We are a 506c (only) platform, so we can only work with accredited investors at this time.

Why gamble with your money?

Hello all, I'm Matt, I work as a Licensed Platform Employee at a large bank and have for the last 10 years.

Haven't heard of it, but it appears to be a website offered by "Pyramid Platform" which "provides a comprehensive solution for the management and disposition of REO properties in an easy-to-use, secure, web-based application", according to their website. https://www.pyramidplatform.com/

Here is why:1) every month I'm paying down my debt using my cash flow and can pay extra towards my debt and still make more money vs waiting for future appreciation2) rents in my area have gone up for 80 years now3) my rental income is subsidized by HUD so your tenants over time will not pay consistently when they lose their Job, get disgruntled, have a bad day lol4) the rental income I get is 2x more per dollar invested therefore I more than compensate for higher appreciation but I have advantage of 1 to 3 aboveSummary my IRR is guaranteed you are gambling on both your tenant and local market.

You can also leave a letter on the front door of the property.What we also do is look up the name via social media platforms, see if you can get in touch with any family members.

Feel free to reach out to me with any and all questions you might have about BiggerPockets, investing, or using our platform!
