I am still getting used to how much of a numbers game this is, failing 30 time to find one in a hot market.

Or you can learn by reading, listening, watching, and still find that you would be 10x farther along if you had just started by  connecting with the right person from the beginning.Find out what kind of area you are interested in investing in, put the funds together and say here's my skin in the game, then connect on Connected Investors, BP, local facebook pages, local reia meetups, and elsewhere.

You can go to a site like Fiver and get someone to design it for you.

Hey all, I'm a new investor who has spent the last [too long] getting educated and is looking to properly get in the game.

I haven't yet seen anything that talks about the improvement requirements to qualify as you alluded to, but this is a game changer.

It is always best that the tenant not be home and not be talking with your contractors..Give 24 hr notice and make sure you are on site with the contractors.  

I did call the police department, and they directed me to a city web site that lists all the crimes by neighborhood and street in the past 6 months. 

has anyone actually used the site and was happy and can chime in would be great!

This is my first post on BP since joining a few months ago when I found the site.

Co-investor provides majority of the financing and I provide majority of on-site services.
