Hello,Thanks to all the great knowledge found here and elsewhere we are close to purchase our first investment property (a duplex).

I call BS on their entire operation AND yes I have considerable and extensive experience at the fund level and SEC compliance, I have been retained by several funds in a managing capacity.

I have been considering getting my real estate license this summer just to get more knowledge of the space.

So, I stumbled recently on a BP podcast that pointed me to a Real Estate book that I began (listening to) and soon realized, It was way ahead of my knowledge and I just couldn't comprehend it.

My father has been involved in commercial real estate for about 40 years and has shared some of his knowledge with me. 

Hey everyone,I’m looking to expand my knowledge into the development side of RE.

I'm just starting to learn a bit about real estate and would love to get some knowledge from all of the EXPERTS (everyone here)!!! 

Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

I live in, and want to purchase in the very expensive California Bay Area market.720 credit score, no loans or credit card debt with an exception of 50k in low-interest Federal student loans (Currently in grace.)So HERE is my question to all of you knowledgeable and wise real estate investors!

So I'm not sure if all the repair is absolutely necessary to sell the house.I'm stuck between a rock & a hard place because I trust them both in their knowledge & abilities.
