It’s great that you’re ready to take the leap into real estate investing.

Memphis holds a lot of hidden investment opportunities.

@Gus DelgadoWe just got a list of around $20M in defaulted multifamily loans in dc 5-20 unit propertiesSo it will be interesting to see how they shake out but there are gonna be some opportunities in DC - as mentioned know TOPA but don’t run from it

But since I'm a newbie, I'll ask anyway and risk ridicule.The question centers around what goes on behind the scenes in  real estate investing. 1.

Hello fellow real estate investors,I wanted to share some important information about the lead-based paint laws in Massachusetts.

Hi Michael,Getting funding for a down payment on real estate can be challenging, as most of the funding typically covers the other 80-90% of the property's price.

Any real estate attorney in Utah that could provide a consult today? 

I know that is a lot to ask for but I don't have anyone else that is a real estate pro or has any experience with multi unit analysis. 1.

I apologize if I wasn't clear on my question, I didn't really go into my plans for how I would invest as I didn't think it really pertained to my question, yes I know I should not purchase a rental using a HELOC and certainly that wasn't the plan.Whether it be a flip or brrrr, I would use some investment vehicle that would allow me to pay back the money.Roll into as when I purchase my next primary home, use the equity towards the house.The premise of my question was just is owning a home expensive enough now to where it'd be worth putting more money towards it when purchasing to lower payment/pay off quicker, or would it still be worth it to use all of that money towards other real estate. 

I've found that what I value most in regards to real estate investing are the people who know about actual home repair and can approach a sale from that perspective.
