Hello BP Communityi am new to real estate and looking to network with other investors, mainly house flippers and wholesalers but all types are welcome.

Hi @Eric Bate.I've interviewed a local CPA (Plymouth, MN) and will be using his services for my 2017 taxes.

We are always looking for independent contractors/handymen to add to our network.

If you're in a very competitive market you may want to get the house staged (filled with furniture) for marketing purposes.If you must list it in such a way as to disclose the address (for example you list it with an agent as a rental) please spend the extra $15-20 bucks to install a simplisafe alarm system: this is an inexpensive alarm system that works over 3G cellular networks.

As a new real estate investor, you should start in your own back yard where you have the advantage of first hand knowledge of the market, the customs, expectations, laws, and a network of friends and acquaintances who can help with advice.  

I bought the property in Indianapolis from one of the turnkey networks (I won't mention names, but the owner is a Bigger Pockets member) for $47,000.

At BP, you not only learn how to get deals done correctly, but also have an opportunity to network with other real estate investors and learn from the informative forums posted on BP everyday!

Hi,I'm looking at getting into REI in the US from Australia.Is it worth have a CPA manage the tax sides of the LLC's that I will be setting up for my properties?

To get leads you must build your network.  

We have an opportunity as a network to assist each other, be altruistic, and genuinely see if we can help as we learn from what you are all going through.
