I say you have to understand the community and the people within it.

By day I work in commercial real estate lending in NYC, and I'm also a professional engineer, so I'm happy to help the community in anyway I can. 

Welcome to the community Amber and best of luck on the first SFR deal. 

Hey everyone,I am new to the real estate game and am currently gaining a lot of knowledge from the BP community. 

I would appreciate any pointers and instruction on how to get financial backing/investors with out being a W2 earner.I am excited to see all of the discussions, interaction, and help that this community is built upon. 

Thank you BP and community for providing the knowledge, tools and motivation to act!

Hey BP Community,Doing a rehab in North Philadelphia and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for a general contractor.

Hey everyone - just wanted to introduce myself to the community and put my thoughts out there for feedback/input.

Hello BP community!

Cash flow isn’t great (~250/mo) so I’d like to get an estimate on what the place is worth and likely proceed to do a 1031 into something with a bit more cash flow (ideally a 2-4 unit) down in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area.I have a property manager but I’m not thrilled with them so I’d like a recommendation from the BP community for a good real estate agent in the area.Thanks everyone!
