So if you are starting from a negative equity position it takes a lot of time to build that up.

I’ve done lots of research regarding REITS as something to get started with.

Shortly after moving in, this house (built in 2006 so 18 yrs old) styarted having issues - cooktop working erratically, they replaced it with a high-end (GE Profile) new one.....Dishwasher started leaking, replaced with brand new GE Profile. 50 Gal water heater went out (elements) they replaced.So in just 6 months, they have spent about $5000 on me.

G’Day BP folks,A fellow Toledo investor started a Facebook group revealing all local scammers.Mostly contractors.10+ years of investing in Toledo and stopped counting at $1m in losses.It’s just the nature of the beast and the cost of doing business in my eyes.Unfortunately, Toledo is notorious for bad operators and poor quality of workmanship in many industries.Maybe this group will help you not loose the same amount of cheese that I did $$$You’re welcome 😇 https://facebook.com/groups/786864700099337/

When I started REI, BP platform has guided me, and three years after, I already have my own RE investments. 

I'm currently diving into the world of commercial real estate with a specific focus on RV and boat self-storage investments.As I'm just starting out, I'm here to learn as much as possible and to connect with experienced investors and professionals.

New or experienced agents please share your story or share something that interested you and made you want to start RE investing or being an agent!

I can start to see some traction back towards the initial downturn in some areas. 

Hi @Richard Pennington this is how I started and I'd be happy to talk you through it!

@Amy Lin - If it were me I would have an experienced attorney start the eviction process immediately.They are probably going to hang on as long as they can rent free as they have the closing proceeds.They might care about their credit if they do plan on buying another place, so you might have some leverage there.
