Hi, my name is Shad Lorenz and I am a 12 year Army Veteran, 10 year small business owner with a Bachelor’s degree in photography looking to start my journey in Real Estate Investing with my wife Beth Lorenz. 

West Virginia is the most flexible state in the US regarding inspection with friendly poeple everywhere. mississippi is the worst state for real estate.

Closing the top floor vents in winter allows heat to rise, so the top floor isn't so hot while the lower floors are cold, or open the top vents in summer to allow the cold air to flow downstairs.And don't correct them when they use the "real feel", or "feels like" temperatures they have been reporting, just to make people feel as if temperatures are hotter than they have ever been.

Hi, Welcome yes indeed Ohio is one place that you want to invest in real estate.

The plan: I am identifying on/off market properties that are targets, will do all of the real estate work (listing, showing, advertising, vetting, etc) and will split the cost of the purchase of the home and the material costs for any needed repairs.The contractor will be subbing out portions of the job and be on site mostly full time until the project is completed. 

Most real estate seminars tend to be pep rally sessions to motivate individuals using various psychological techniques more than providing information and insights based on research that you can't find elsewhere.What seminars have you attended where it did not feel like blowing smoke up your glass?

I'm a real estate broker and general contractor looking to connect with other real estate professionals on this forum.

Let's hope my foray into real estate investing goes better!

Are there any financing challenges that are holding you back from scaling your real estate portfolio?

One thing to be aware of is many real estate listings quote projected revenue amounts.
