I never owned any real estate and have been renting a high rise one bedroom for $1,800 in River North with my girlfriend for the past couple years, and we love it here.I have done well in my career and am currently sitting on a mid 7 figure liquid portfolio all invested in equity index funds, and I think diversifying a bit in real estate might be a good strategy.

Had to sit on it awhile then was finally able to spruce it up and get it rent-ready.

@Tyler Stone if you can't find someone to hang your license with, I would not view the time you spent on the salesperson courses as a waste/mistake.I often recommend to new investors that they consider sitting through all the pre-license courses (even if they don't ultimately take the exam) as they're a great education and introduction to real estate, and very affordable compared to the information gained.I also tell them that since literally anyone can become a real estate agent, the class (especially an in-person class) can have some... colorful characters🤣Even if you never become an active agent, it's a very good set of introductory knowledge about real estate, and it's also very helpful to know when dealing with agents in the future - as you almost certainly will at some point.

I am in the Austin TX area and wanted to see if anyone has good tips on the wholesaling business..im sitting at work knowing that I am limiting my income with a 9-5...what do u guys recommend I start with...what groups are good to join?

Everything checks out but I'd like to hear about potential pool costs if you've dealt with a similar situation.It's been sitting without a cover for what appears to be a few years but looks recoverable with some TLC.

Built in the 1960's, this property is a 3 bed, 3 bath, 1687 square-foot home sitting on 1/3 of an acre on the south-east side of Huntsville, AL.

This is a quickly expanding area as it sits right outside the downtown and could handle the expansion. 

I have already completed the initial home inspection, repairs are being completed as we speak, so outside of the re-inspection, I am just waiting to sit at the closing table.

Most direct answer, if you live in Tennessee and are buying a SFH, and are willing to personally come to California on vacation once a year (such as when the short term rental isn't occupied by others on vacation who are paying you for the privilege), 2nd homes can be acquired at 90% LTV.Checklist here: https://selling-guide.fanniema...But, for a traditional long term rental, if that is your intent in your heart of hearts when you sit across from the notary who will take your fingerprints, no there are not.

I recall some mentions on BP of 10-15% downpayment lenders floating about.Ultimately, looking for lenders doing sub-20% down on NOO multi-families to form a relationship with for the foreseeable future.
