Buying a MLS listing is probably a no go ,if you find a private sell or a similar way that would be the best way to purchase a property in todays climate.

Learn from your family and on your own by going to different meet-ups and having conversations with agents, other investors and anyone else in the industry to hear about their experiences.Make 2025 a year of planning and how you will go about that plan. 

If you want to invest private deals which are generally the best deals then being an agent will kill that deal before it gets going. 

I had a very pleasant phone conversation with Bob (SVP of Praxis) a few days ago and his knowledge and approach was aligned with how I operate.

The prior owner converted the garage into a 2b/1ba private suite (so now I have a 6bed 4bath home - but no garage) a garage is important to add value to the home.Here's to a prosperous 2025!

I borrowed $110K from a private lender for the purchase and self funded the repair of the offices. 3 months later, I rented 6,000 sq.ft. of office space to a corporation for $21,000/month + utilities for 5 years with another 5 year option.

Surplus line is what I have been looking for as I am involved with an older property that is typically found to be uninsurable by a lot of other mainstream insurance companies due to the properties age and some of its original features and surroundings, I just have a question and have done some reading on this and it's really not too clear and it sounds it can go either way really with this and I'm fairly new to all this so I am learning a lot of things as I go but should the private non traditional mortgage lender be listed as additional insured while the person occupying & buying the home and also purchasing the property from the lender be listed as mortgagee?

I’d love to hear more about your strategies and how we might work together.Looking forward to the conversation!

As though my phone conversation with them had never taken place.5) There was an applicant who signed the lease and was supposed to move in Nov 15th (by now).
