We told them, that damn chain drive was shot, we told them that weeks before and then it jumped just like we said it would, hell no that's not on us!". 

Look at driving for dollars to find the run down homes and go after them.

I am more interested in platforms that allow you to pull up owner information on the spot if you see a property of interest while you are driving around.

@Marissa Wurms You are fortunate to live within an an easy drive to MANY markets.

Eric If you ever can't find a deal in your neighborhood, you should take the short 3 hour drive east and come visit Columbus.  

Some examples of things I can help you with include:• Property rehab• Property analysis• Driving for dollars• Direct mail marketing• Tech work (website creation, social media management, email lists)My boyfriend is willing to help too.

So when I first became a biggerpocket's member I asked a question in the forums is REI worth a divorce.. my question is now how can I protect my two vacant lots on the lake that i just purchased since August now that it looks like divorce is for sure coming.. for the past couple of weeks she would leave during the day so I could be able to educate myself with watching podcasts or reading books or driving for dollars etc.. she's been gone for the past three days and nights and I barely heard from her. when I said something about why is her stuff still here if  she wasnt going to come home she said that she would come pack it tomorrow.. well I just got done packing it tonight and I'm wondering if there's a way to protect my investments.. the whole marriage i have been the one taking care of both of us and its been horrible every since i got laid off from working in the plants in west texas.. i was trying to hang on till i could atleast get a post nup signed but now it dont look like that is going to happen.. i was trying to make a better life for the both of us and now it looks like my REI days might be done..

Tenants can make or break a deal, terrible tenants can drive you mad!

I have cash ready to buy, but no motivated agent to drive this next purchase to close.

Rents, based on talking to a friend who has 3 properties in the same town, should rent easily for $650-$700/ month.I’m looking at pulling equity out with a refinance and looking for my next property.The town only has population of 7,000, but towns of 100k within 30-45 minutes drive in all 4 directions.Anybody investing in similar markets out there?
