Way to promote BP!

Either scare click bait or a scummy way to promote the use of realtors. 

Hi @Sean Silva,Thanks for posting in the forums.However, we do not allow self-promotion, and posts looking for real estate agents tend to generate a lot of self-promotion from the agents on the site.We've locked this thread so it doesn't get filled with these posts.

There's several other group members on that page that share individual networking and other promotional events, so that's a great place to start!

For them, it was not intentional.Other people can knowingly purchase negative cash-flowing properties if it gives exposure to rapid price appreciation in a hot area or an area that is on the path of progress.Personally I'd happily buy properties and be negative each month if they are in areas where there are major developments coming up in the near and whose funding have been secured by the promoters.

Be a big shift from their primary intent of promoting home ownership vs. helping investors.

@Carrie Hatcher My wife is a financial planner, and they’re very good at what they do, through her I’ve interacted with quite a few financial planners, I’ve found most of them go blank faced when you try to have actual real estate investment conversations and most aren’t well versed in the type of investing that BiggerPockets promotes, I’d lean towards a real estate experienced CPA I’d recommend Brandon Cox with BMC Accounting out of Toledo OH

I use the Capital One QuickSilver for everyday use 1.5% back, Lowes Credit Card gives you 5% cashback if you are rehabbing and special financing of up 24 months interest free (You have to catch the promotion at certain times).

And since many here (not all, by any means) are participating in order to promote their businesses or make business connections, it is in their best interest to be friendly. 

The answer is it depends.It depends on the location and what might attract people to your property, amenities, competition, your purchase price, how well you take pictures and furnish the property, how active you are in promoting the property, having a good support staff (mainly excellent cleaners/s).
