Show up & I bet the pet is still there, lol.

So we hit a bad streak with houses having issues and GC's and subs taking their time to have things completed on time, quality of work, subs not being paid, my husband and I had to much involvement and time spent so we said we have to change strategies.4) We both work full time jobs so the time we could spend at the job site was limited and hence the reason why you hire a GC but then you start hearing comments "oh it must be nice to work full time jobs, flip houses on the side, and show up here when you want too and do nothing and make all this money!"

The idea that an area 'might' gentrify in the future is not something to bet on when you're just starting out.

Hi everyone,To be involved with real estate investing, I was looking at certain certifications to becoming a realtor. 

The hard parts are setting up the relationships and trust in that team necessary to be able to execute on the plan, and making sure that the deals still pencil with all of the people involved. 

Either the seller needs to pay the lien at settlement (if there is a lender involved... see below) or the buyer needs to factor in taking care of the lien immediately.

My goal is to get my first property no later than end of Q1 2018.For my immediate next steps I am 1) starting to write out clear goals on what I want to achieve and break it down into smaller steps.  2) I will be joining the Richmond REIA starting in January (December meeting is Christmas party and I'll be away). 3) Continued meetings with people in my current network that are involved in Real Estate Investing - Found out about a few by chance and have reached out. 

I know it is possible but have never been involved in one with my clients. 

I’ve heard that buying a duplex is the best way to get involved.

If you have deals bet.
