On the personal finances, buying my first BRRRR side of things:  My wife and I are within 10 days of closing on a refi of our house in order to wipe out the divorce legal and settlement debt I racked up on second mortgage and credit cards back in 2014 and cut $800-1000 out of our monthly obligations. 

So I'd like to connect with an unaligned broker/appraiser/property manager who could give me a second opinion about both the renovated value and potential rents.

HI BP members,I am in the process of buying  second duplex and will live in one side while renting out the other. 

If you’re the realtor and writing the 20 or 100 offers yourself, pulling your own comps, doing all of the legwork, etc. then you remove that variable/obstacle.But, overall, I’d second what most people are saying.

I'm a father of three beautiful kids and would like to spend more time with them which is my main motivation to invest in real estate. 

My goal in real estate is to provide a second stream of income from cash flow via a buy and hold strategy with single family and multi-family rental properties.

The second call was a woman who said "I want $390,000" for her property as soon as I answered the phone.

@Keivan Darius I second @Kim Meredith Hamptons recommendation about NARPM, hiring a PM who is not NARPM credentialed is asking for major trouble.

The first is $135K and the second is $112K (after lots of wrangling with both).

Albeit, this is my second (might as well be first) experience using something other than an automated "yes, no, fill in the blank" tax service.
