Hi Forum,I've been dabbling in investing for the past 5 years. 

Quick question for the forum: Does anyone use the Bureau of Labor Statistic's CPI Inflation Calculator when assessing the value of a potential investment?

Hi BP, I’ve read plenty of forums regarding seller financing and I’m still confused.

@Chaunna Henry, you posted under the Houston Real Estate Forum.

I need help from smart people on this forum to decide whether my rental property should be sold or kept.

I just went into contract with two beautiful SFH in good suburbs of San Antonio, TX for approx 220k each, and need loans of 120k on each of the properties.I've never taken out a private money loan before, and am very nervous about finding a company that is genuine, as I've read the tales on the forum here, and also have Googled one company and read the many complaints about how these scam operations work.

Just wondering if there is already a forum out there that is covering this?

I've been reading some of the forums in BP and I know some say to educate yourself, then build a buyers list.

I’m really excited about this forum
