I am new to BP, but started a meetup 3 months ago in my city of Bowie Maryland. The reason that I started the BP meetup was to connect with other local investors (without the pitches of traditional REIAs. Month 1 two ...

I’m Lizzie, I live in the Bay Area and am sipping my toes into the real estate investing world - I have a friend in Seattle who is a successful wholesaler and suggested I look into it.

I have had great success with French Drains (google) I had a property in Ca and sometimes it rains furiously there and water would literally pour into the basement like someone turned a tap.

Hi BP members, I'm getting ready to close on 3 family in the Weequahic area in Newark NJ and was wondering if anyone have any of their properties listed on Airbnb as I was thinking of converting 1 of my units into short term rentals. would like to hear any hurdles or successes people have had with Airbnb in any parts of Newark.

Lastly, if this is your first fixer-upper, I suggest going in with an experienced and successful fixer-upper partner/mentor. 

pricing these days for HML is based on experience  No experience pretty expensive  ..so in my mind first few out of the gate I would do this with an equity partner safer and less frustrating than trying to go HML  once you can show a few successful flips under your belt the HML route will be easier and less expensive..

It's our view that it is our job to make sure that we are doing everything that we can to set the buyer up for success at the beginning.Hope that helps,Chris Pre
