Hi guys I hope you are doing well.I'm completely new in REAL ESTATE BUSINESS can any body help me how to become a successful real estate investor.From Dubai United Arab Emirates thanks a lot for your support.

Hi Doug, my wife and I are looking to get into this type of business for displaced family's.

I'm looking for ideas on how to handle a potential bust cycle and prevent it from blocking my progress towards acquiring a second property.

Traffic flow-does the traffic flow and the businesses right near the wash support these incomes and any potential growth.State of the equipment-is the equipment newer or older, is it well maintained?

Hi all,I recently posted about this topic and unfortunately did not receive any responses.I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

If you leave it in your main account, you don't really have any idea how much of that is not spendable at any given time.  

I've been toying with the idea of automating my showings as well as allowing qualified prospects to view the property alone and at their convenience.

That's the idea.

The BP podcasts have broadened my ideas on what we could potentially do with our funds. 

Agreed with @Theresa HarrisGet a contractor recommendation (or multiple) from your friend and reach out to GCs yourself to have a couple of quotes and ideas for the renovation project.During the walkthroughs, you can pick the contractor's brain regarding pricing on different material grades, efficient layout ideas, etc.
