Warm air escapes the building through the roof, creating negative pressure inside the building and sucking in colder, denser air through the basement (special emphasis on the rim joist).We understand the science behind this now.

My brother and I are active buy and hold investors and thanks to all the resources and people of the BP community it has helped us tremendously.

My brother in law and sister are currently doing a live in flip in Charlotte where the numbers are crazy and I will say from their experience to be ready for anything and have adequate reserves on hand for issues that you need to prioritize for (I.e. in case an appliance goes out, heat/air go out, etc.).Not doing it personally like I said but from what I’ve seen it could for sure be overwhelming living around it so having that discussion with your girl beforehand as if the property needs considerable rehab you could both be relatively comfortable in part of the home if extensive rehab is required.

Purchase price: $300,000 Cash invested: $20,000 Sale price: $595,000 Co-owned my primary residence with my brother.

I sold a single family home that I co-owned with my brother in June 2018.

My brother bought here in phoenix recently in the 'sellers' market and is doing airbnb for two of the bedrooms.

I have a friend who built his own house from the ground up, he did EVERYTHING, and his brother is a GC so he is able to do the work himself and have his brother sign off on everything.

@Ryan Nguyen I invest out of state and at first I trusted my brother to walk the area since he lives in that state (Indianapolis, Indiana) him not being a real estate investor only saw the negative of the neighborhoods as a whole.

He measured the distance between each electrical outlet, measured the size of the 2 windows so they were in the range to provide adequate light and escape, but not too large to be energy wasting, etc. 

Currently I am a owner and operator of a long term facility that treats and rehabilitates individuals suffering from drug and alcohol addiction.I am now looking to shift my focus from the day to day operations of my business and jump in to real estate investing.Additionally, I am working to obtain my broker license as a means to support my goals in real estate investing.I am partnering with my brother, close friend, as well as a mentor to begin this new journey.I look forward to networking with many of you.
