There are still a lot of opportunities to invest here in SC.

A lot of folks who have concluded that Bay Area prices are "too high" or "too inflated" are looking for investment opportunities in Ohio, a state I know pretty well as I lived there for 7 years. 

Hey everyone I’m new to the bigger pockets forum, super excited to be here. Me and my partner are starting our real estate journey through wholesaling we are both well versed and have a decent amount of experience bet...

Start by networking at real estate investment meetings in your area.

I have the opportunity to purchase the duplex I currently rent one side of from my father.

If your current loan is already 30 years and your property's value is the same and if you can just cope with the negative cash-flow then you may want to stand pat with your loan and negative cash-flow, work on raising rents, and wait for a more opportune time to refinance in 1-2 years maybe. 

Beneficial ownership reporting is a requirement from the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).

Network with investors in your area and create an accountability group that will help you stay on track with your goals. 

Secondly, I see assisting other investors as a fantastic opportunity to glean insights and prepare myself for my own ventures.For those seasoned in this realm, I'm reaching out for your wisdom.

You are far more likely to find a mentor through in-person networking and building relationships.
