It’s easy to get discouraged if your efforts don’t pay off right away, but staying the course is what separates the good from the great.This is exactly what Shelly and I did in New Hampshire.

Hello BP,I’m a new investor who purchased a SFR in Illinois.

you put new carpet in is your excuse? 

Quote from @Henry Clark: Great notes @Don KonipolFew added points for new investors:A. 

New (ish) wholesaler looking to do a mobile home deal in Jacksonville Florida in which the seller wants to get out and over with it.

If a listing is struggling for occupancy or brand new we may include for free. 

(Note: I’m aware of the new STR restrictions in the area).

I am new to real estate investing, but I have always wanted to get into it.

It might help you out if you're a hammer swinger type guy who can produce workmen like quality results versus homeowner DIY results.Someone who has been in this business for awhile , and brings a lot more knowledge , and contacts to the deal we'll have a lot better chance at performing a turn around on the property then to someone who is new and inexperienced. 

I don't like the idea of staging photos with flaming hot cheetos against my new penny tile backsplash, but then again I see other listings getting mentions in the reviews so who am I to question it?
