I’m currently doing my homework and preparing to make an offer on my first property, a commercial/residential building and I’m looking forward to utilizing the resources on BP and especially the experiences of all the other investors. 

I could have a need for some VA work if you're interested in defining some sales cycles and practicing some cold calling.

This can offer great opportunities to people who are paying attention.

Borrowing cash for interest is a centuries old practice but I’m wondering if anybody knows any creative ways to get access to cash with 0% interest?

I am about to make an offer on this home and realized that there is no dishwasher.

Toledo offers excellent cash flow opportunities, although its neighborhoods can differ significantly even from one street to the next.

Then we started putting in offers and that was a learning experience on its own.

However, we have so much to offer! 

Cold calling potential sellers needs to be quick and get straight to the point: your a local small business and you're looking to make an offer on the property, are they interested?
