When doing research on flipping, I came across Bigger Pockets and it has opened up a whole new world for me!

I discovered Bigger Pockets through listening to a couple of podcast episodes and now am starting to browse the forums to get a better understanding of how I can start to branch out into more real estate investing.

That could turn into a bigger project then you might expect so make sure the numbers work even with a variance for unexpected costs.

Back in 2012 when I was researching property management and looking for my first deal I somehow did NOT come across bigger pockets.

Some examples of bigger ones are Bremer Bank, Sunrise Bank, Deerwood Bank, BMO Harris Bank, First National Bank Hastings, Community Resource Group & Citizens State Bank, but there are hundreds more.I just want to be clear that I would not chase the LLC designation to get the property into an LLC. 

(Note: This is my first post on Bigger Pockets!

PS.There is a great post right here on Bigger Pockets, the Landlord&Tenant Forum that I was able to also find some great information on, titled, “Foundation Problems 101 -- Buying a Place With a Foundation Problem”.

As you add more and bigger properties, you'll at some point likely transition to professional management, which will add more risk. 

I’m a fan of painting the home, but a bigger fan of curb appeal.
