Hey BiggerPockets Family, My name is Arturo Smith from New York. I gained interest in Real estate attending Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. I saw how decapitated the real estate was I saw i could make ...

I'm hoping to learn and get advice on how to help my family grow their "mom & pop" portfolio and help brand it into a professional entity to increase their current profit margin while maintaining scalable processes.I'm still a newbie but am determined to learn and hopefully make some money along my journey!

She has overall maintained the house fairly well.The house was last assessed in 2014 and came in right around $102k (tax office appraised it higher but my family help fight for a lower assessment). 

I don't exactly know what is included with the investor premium subscription, but whatever it is, if you read it, study it AND apply it, you'll be well versed to make money in real estate in California. 

My husband and I just relocated to NW Indiana this summer and are looking to begin investing in real estate while maintaining full time careers in higher education.

If the area is truly increasing in value, homes will have to start going for at least a little over what the comps might suggest.I would really check into the rental market and try to decide how easy it will be to maintain that level of cash flow.Are you talking about 5% over market or 50% over market?

I've been super busy over the last few weeks studying for my real estate license exam, and getting myself squared away with a brokerage.

My view from studying Jeff Watson's work and his interview of the Ohio RE board summarizes the strictest view as:  if you take full risk of a RE deal, sign a P&S contract with serious earnest money (more than $10) and make good on closing on your contract within what ever period of time you (the buyer) and seller agree to, that's not a licensed activity.  

But my job is essentially a daily study in how to make money on real estate, and this opportunity greatly intrigues me.  

I maintain the account at that level.
