If you are in this for the long haul then start building that team now.

I look forward to start co-wholesaling, I have a significant amount of knowledge to haul in a pool of buyers ready to invest in or buy properties.

Regarding Realtors, find one you want to work with that can be in it for the long haul, and be mindful that many will want to see where the reward is for them.

Every NO gets me closer to YES!  

Over the course of that time and during my research and thinking phase, I was toying with the idea of purchasing the current house I live in and using it as a rental, but I would be the tenant (short-term). 

Its really important for the long term goal of your business if you're looking to be in RE for the long haul to align yourself with an investor centric real estate agent who will make you more than the 5-6% listing fees for your properties. 

I'm in it for the long haul, so if the numbers work today the future doesn't concern me as much, but I would hope home prices and rent continually and gradually increased and hopefully within the next 5-10 years interest rates came down to allow me to either refinance and pull a lot of cash out, or greatly reduce my mortgage.But in an effort to get my wife involved and excited about real estate we've switch gears and are currently looking for an STR along the NC coast.

Hi BP community,I have been toying with how I want to structure a family purchase.

I can handle stress we have over 3 restaurants inthe family ... stuff happens things take down turns randomly .. been there done that with dumb lawsuits customers/ employees have thrown at us I guess thats why im so cautious honestly that plus the main reason i see real eatate as a safer investment and why im am here on this forum is ... my parents have 2 single family  rentals and one commercial building (they paid off in 5 years with restaurant profits) cash flowing 1000 each house and commercial cash flowing 3,500 freely and its a piece of mind they always have extra money coming in with payment free properties I guess since i grew up seeing that side of passive cashflow I’ve always thought wow they have zero payments and they get all this money flowing monthly (obviously not a great sum) but you get what i meanOkay ill probably start going 30 year notes but just for the sake of peace of mind forsure im gonna be paying them off sooner if economy starts shakingAgain im here for the long haul in about 4 months ill be looking for property #2 so yall shall see me again here

The cost can depend on if they have to haul trimmings away or they can put them in a wooded area in the back to decompose naturally.Lawn care companies typically do not have the training or the tools to work on large trees or to able to remove them or the stumps.
