Inventories are near record low in many markets and job creation is strong.

Canadians have a strong bias towards using Realtors and banks and generally don't know about the alternatives, so as a wholesaler there's not only the privacy issues, but a basic trust issue when asking a stranger to sell me their house.So Tiago, you suggest driving for dollars and just straight up knocking on those doors?

3) With me being a realtor, I can list the property at a discount rate (still have to pay the brokerage a little fee) and we save about 12K in listing fees (still have to pay the buyers agent, unless I sell it personally). 4) Should we try to get the hard money, or should we be looking for a cash investor that might see a benefit of not having to pay capital gains taxes or listing agent fees, and partner with us?

I'm looking forward to attending networking events and am seeking like minded friends, mentors or partners.

My partner and I are open to locations and areas and we would love to pick your brain on the Richmond area. 

i am based out of MA I am currently working with a potential partner in MA regarding a commercial apartment building.

We recently bought flooring for a new house we are closing on and I was expressing strong opinions on the cost and style and I had to stop and told her "You're the expert on the interior design and what will last the longest relative to cost so you pick and I trust you" This has helped my wife who hasn't listened to a single podcast from BP move forward and buy a house and start renting our old one within 60 days!!

I live in NYC myself and I strongly suggest people from here to start investing out of state but somewhere close by so you don't have to rel completely on other people and if anything goes wrong can drive to the property and take matters into your own hands.

I have been reading everything I can, listening to every podcast, I joined my local REIA association and trying to learn as much as I can.I have an strong practice as an Architect, (not licensed in the USA just in case) design, and construction. 

One strategy is to use your self directed IRA to partner with yourself on property.
