Hi All, I have been studying markets in real estate investing for some time now.

Real Estate investing is a long journey not a "get rich quick  phenomenon. 

I'm Emily from the Urbana/Champaign Illinois area, passionate about real estate investing for the past couple of years - passively, and the past 5 months or so - actively.

Hello everyone,I'm relatively new to real estate investing and I'm looking for some advice from you experienced investors please.

Meetup.com, Evite, FB Marketplace are great resources.

My name is Hogan Chouinard and I am new to real estate investing, I have been wanting to get involved with real estate for a while because I want to give myself financial freedom in the future by putting in the extra work right now, I want to start a real estate portfolio that I can continue to build on over time for years to come, and I am hoping that I can meet some people on bigger pockets that can help me along the way!

To answer some of your questionsGross monthly cash flow is $3200 rent - $2550 expenses = $650 Yearly cash flow= $7800Vacancy 8-10% is close to 1 month's rent so = $3200 yearlyRepairs: 5x rule = $576 yearly CapEx: 1% of property value yearly= $4,000 (includes Special Assessments)Once I deduct vacancy, yearly repair budget and capex estimate I'm breaking even, but is that real?

Hello all, I am brand new to Real Estate Investing and I am in a situation that I believe could be promising.

If you own investment real estate in Hawaii but do not live here and want to self manage, you are "supposed" to have a "point of contact."   

Meet and talk with real estate agents.
