My name is Justin Springborn, a young buck new to real estate and the Dallas Fort Worth area, looking to purchase my first investment property within the next 6-8 months.

I recently moved here, and my friend in real estate development mentioned that their analytics indicate 120 people move to Raleigh each day.

Hello BiggerPockets community,I'm looking to connect with local real estate investors in oklahoma city.

You shouldn’t be investing in real estate if you NEED the cash flow.

Hello,Anyone here a non resident investing in real estate and has figured out how to protect themselves from estate taxes (40% of value).I want to keep buying real estate portfolios but want to figure this out if anyone has done it or can connect me to someone who has.Thank you

I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add. 

Do you own any other real estate?

I'm always looking to connect with real estate investors who might be interested in exploring funding options for their next project.

Networking in real estate can feel like an uphill battle.

There is one business in particular that has been very tempting to try and acquire, but I am not sure the next steps to actually go about doing it.Questions like: Confirming it qualifies for commercial real estate loans (SBA), what type of network (brokers/lawyers/etc) would be needed to appraise and finalize a deal, and where to look for that network.
