I always recommend everyone educate themselves on the loan, as it's a huge asset in building wealth.   

yes, its declining in all educated areas. but housing costs will continue to go up. in our Multifamily rentals, we will be upgrading everyone's living standards to assure we have upper-income earners as tenants, will be adding separate Electic Vehicles charging and 1st $100 of electricity for free included in the rent with Solar panels offsetting the cost producing the electric we sell to tenants. also adding Smart building ready FOG network for security and looking at new Smart Toilets the five-star hotels have been installing.

My advice would be to focus on educating yourself about real estate and financing options first.You need to figure out what your strategy will be and there are 3; Are you going to flip?  

Hello everyone, Not sure if this is the introduction page but I just wanted to say how wonderful this community is for information and education that is provided and I wanted to make use of it.My name is Tien and I am new to real estates, I am still learning but I never knew this was a viable and feasible way to really make money and even retire.

As a result, I bought a book called "The Book on Rental Property Investment" and tried to educate myself and that's how I know Bigger Pockets.My goal is to start investing with brrrr or buy and hold strategies this year in great Philly area and at the same time building a reliable system to growth.

I would educate yourself on 2-4 unit properties in your area and start making offers!

If you had spent a dozen years in property management, and are now looking to buy, I might invest with you.If you had wealthy family friends and hooked up with a very experienced operator, I might invest with you.If you had educated yourself and happened upon the killer deal, I might invest with you.If you are scrambling in the dark with no experience or capital, why would I invest with you? 

They will have educational meetings every so often.

While any licensed, insured, bonded contractor is technically allowed to do the work, unless they have been properly educated on the 203k or have vast experience with the 203k, any average contractor will NOT now the paperwork, processes, guidelines, timelines, draw process, change order process, estimate/bid format, different versions of the 203k, and most likely won't have the financials needed to pay for the upfront materials and ongoing expenses, or anything else associated with the 203k and would be basically 'winging it.'

Granted, we can’t do the phone interview, but we can educate them on the process and help them understand.
