so i’m looking to do the same, also in the new stages of investing . i’m actually putting together a vision and outline of a new real estate investor/ entrepreneur meet up that will be a great networking group but also geared towards mindset shifts (for example poverty mindset to abundance mindset) and foundational things that will transform a small venture based on small mindedness to a large scale venture . so yeah if your interested in being apart of that, that would be awesome. i’ll be sending out a post on here with mention to omaha investors , so keep an eye out for that. also idk if your already apart of the REIA omaha facebook group and also the “omaha real estate meet up” group on there , good connections and meet ups as well -Troy Devine

I’m in the early stages of exploring investing strategies.

I am in the early stages of scoping out the details around demolishing and rebuilding on a property that I recently took out a home equity line of credit on (currently have all of those funds still).

Started pressure washing the brick and side walks, turns out the bricks are indeed red who would have thought.Hall way #1 is in the spackle stage and trim has been sanded and painted, was much worse than we thought but will be pristine shortly, next up is replacing the stair treads and risers.Mail boxes have been moved out of the hallways and centrally located, most of them were only holding to the wall by a wing and a prayer and the mail carrier appreciates the update.With the nice weather lots of folks out and about back and forth from the beach access at the end of the street, lots of the neighbors stopped and thanked us for cleaning up the property and welcomed us to the neighborhood. 

Also, savvy investors can make the most of the real estate market regardless of the stage in the cycle we're in.

I am still in the information stage of my REI journey but looking to purchase my first rental income property in the next 8 months!

Some investor friendly agents give you freebies like free flip property staging and design tips.

Hi everybody, I’m a 22 year old looking for general advice to guide me in the right direction. Ive been interested in real estate for some time now and I decided that this is something I’d really want to pursue in the...

I had hoped that the fact that I own the rental outright might mitigate this obstacle, but in my early stage efforts, that has not been the case. 

At that stage, you've invested your $10k, and when you go to Refi and your Lender lets you borrow a further say $12k against their new valuation of $70k, you then have all your original outlay back in your pocket.
