Thanks for sharing your experiences!

I'm excited to have a good conversation with him because it'll be a good learning experience from an experienced investor and a good relationship builder.

In my senior seminar class, one of our assignments is to identify a mentor to meet with in person or virtually 4 times this semester in an industry we are interested in pursuing upon graduation.I would love to connect with a bigger pockets member that has experience in personal real estate investing for themselves or who has work experience in a specific field that has allowed other people to achieve financial independence through real estate investing.

I can make original handmade illustrations, but I also have plenty of photography and editing experience too.

I"m sure there are others that will chime in that have more experience.

Based on my experience, I strongly believe that investing in a Hollywood property with a pool can provide the best overall return on investment (ROI) and speculative value growth in the area.

Of course ordered cabinets are going to be much more, like $15k.I'd stay away from IKEA and any RTA type cabinets......based on my experience....

You can get your experience this way and you won't have to go far. 

It's great to hear about your experience with different rental platforms – Airbnb and Booking.com for short stays, and Furnished Finder for mid-term rentals.

Buy and hold in one of the A class areas in Baltimore, if you are going to do Baltimore, it’s the only part of the city that has growing population, and rehabs are extremely tough right now especially with no experience, I’m doing one right now on the eastern shore, basically cosmetic, was built in 1994, systems, plumbing etc in good shape, labor is even less than Baltimore, gc-ing myself, still running me 70k, materials are insane right 3bd 1ba, mid tier Lowe’s stuff (I’m even putting in a shower insert, no title) is running over 30k.
