Finally signed up to this platform, probably should've done a while back!

Are there any lenders who will either allow full e-closings (my company has the platform for this, but some lenders don't allow it) or allow POAs for investment properties?

You'll also want to factor in reserves for each acquisition to make sure you can weather any storms over the next few years.If you decide to syndicate your deals instead of using all your own capital, there a number of good syndicators on the BiggerPockets platform that you can learn from. 

I believe these forums are super helpful, because I continue to learn so much on this platform - not to long ago I read deep into a forum on BP about some creative structuring to tenant contracts that have the landlords best interests in mind as well as respecting the tenant and producing an outcome where both sides feel as though they got a win.

I did not give more details because I do not want to sound like, or actually, sell or “pitch” here on bigger pockets because that is not what this platform should be used for.

I was wondering if a social-media type platform existed exclusively for landlords to notify other nearby landlords of a particular tenant who had been trouble or should've been marked legally, because doing those alternative methods removes the ability for future landlords to see such a deviancy in a background check.Because it seems that landlords have much more to lose from initiating an eviction (hence the popularity of alternative methods) and furthermore how costly it is to have the unfortunate serendipity to happily embrace these unmarked tenants as clean ones.

I agree with the other commentary, you have to be dedicated to a client and show them around 9-5 for awhile, not really a night and weekends position, plus commercial doesn’t end up with the kind of referrals like residential does, everyone doesn’t know other folks searching for a new office since businesses only move every 5-10-20 years if ever, and there’s only 1 decision maker at every company, and at some it’s a corporate person with no local input.I’m a commercial GC myself, and could not pull it off, plus it would put me in competition directly with the brokers who bring me 80% of my work.

Make sure all documents are signed in the name of the LLC, pay bills through dedicated account and credit card, etc. 

Hi All,I have been looking at the different platforms for real estate data and am curious if there is any real difference between them ?

Go build a new platform, and integrate these suggestions there.
