Since you say you & your husband are just getting started you will find this site to have a ton of material you can gain knowledge from in many different formats like webinars, podcasts, blogs, forums, articles, and books.

Hey BPers,New to the site and really impressed at the friendliness, expertise, and camaraderie happening around here. 

First, are on-site house auctions.

I am about to bid on another site and i want to eatimate accurately.. 

I'm excited to be here, looking forward to networking with the pro's on this site, and learning as much as I can before I purchase my first property.

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable (and free) resources on the internet for real estate investors.

It is honestly too hard to tell given I don't know what original site conditions look like, how much dirt has to be moved, are they having to import water to assist in compaction, how much excavated fill will have to be disposed of off site, concrete costs per cy including all fees to deliver, rebar costs, pumping or no pumping, -- looks like you are going to have 2 mobilizations,,,, one for the footing and the second to pour the slab..... there are a lot of variables here..... 

Hello, I hope to find some good resource for investment in bigger pockets community.

I think all you need is a title company to close your transactions - no don't need an account at this time - most title companies have lawyers to close your transactions -You should make sure that you buy real estate at a giant discount - Understand the management process - learn how to be a good landlord - a tenant is a customer - the tenant is the person who will pay for your mortgage - treat them well.Find discounted real estate from landlords who find themselves in rent court -Start to deal directly with owners - I don't think you should depend on agents selling retail properties - you need to go under-ground for great deals -Tax salesPublic AuctionsRun print ads and radio commercialsInternet - 5 weeks ago I created an internet site - I have received over 200 leads - have 70 offers out there and 15 ratified contracts - learn those systems and you will do well.Expired listings - go knock on some of those doors - an expired listing is  FAILURE of property to sell - I am sure the sellers are not happy - go find them and solve their problems.Direct mail to commercial properties owners - commercial buildings can be  great profit center - when you advertise for real estate - signs - internet or mailings always advertise - WANTED REAL ESTATE - houses - commercial and non-conforming properties - all cash -as is - no commission.
