Wind is one of the subtle items that Insurance companies are starting to exclude. 

Lenders or investors who have short lock up periods but have years of experience feeding their business with new capital would give me more comfort but anyone who is just starting and is promising a rate of return or return of capital in a set period of time would be alarming because they very well could be reliant on fresh capital to make good on that promise and that usually ends poorly.

Hi im new, I recently turned 18, and I im asking for someone who is experience enough or wants to be of help for me to start wholesaleing. 

New landlord here and I've been forced to start my first eviction.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

I started listening to the BiggerPockets podcast in late 2023 and have since heard every episode. 

We don't recommend "newbies" start out with Class D properties.

@Omar Fernandez - you can start by reaching out to some attorneys, NYC is an attorney city so you'll have to get an attorney involved (who usually orders the title search). 

Any city that I'm looking to invest in I always start by looking at population growth.

@Jahniya Butlercan you start with a house hack instead?
