Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Own a rented out condo free and clear, and looking at options on doing a cash-out, not for real estate purposes.

I always thought it was a cool idea, but anytime I see tech people get into real estate and construction (especially to this scale), I really pause and take caution. 

Even over non real estate podcasts!  

I am currently employed in retail sales and am very excited to start my real estate investment portfolio!  

Hello Laura,I have actively purchased land that I identified for the last 10+ years.The easiest way to find out if the land is for sale is to talk to the owner directly.You can use tools such as Whitepages.com surprisingly they have over 90% of people's cell numbers.If you can't get the owner on the phone, I would send them a letter asking them if they want to sell, I have seen other people use actual contract offers that they send out to the owner trying to purchase the property.I would not share my concept unless its some sort of Charity that you are either seeking a partner or donation for.I haven't used PropStream, However one really good tool is called Land Glide, its and app on your phone, and you can look at the parcel makes in real time, and also see the owner info and for each parcel.Hope this helps,Dustin 

I think that most millennials that live w/ their parents aren't focused on investment real estate. 

Also, everyone is anticipating much lower rates over the next 12-18months, so if you purchase today you will most likely refinance to a lower rate in the coming few years.With Real Estate it's important to remember not only that it is a long term investment, but that there are many ways to make money on the asset. 

I use over the range microwaves in all my rentals; it's just one less appliance renters need to bring and gains huge real estate in small kitchens, and the microwaves are almost the same cost as the hoods any more.As for the countertops the spots that always get ruined are the areas exposed to moisture; the clear poly repels the moisture and binds the sawdust together in the particleboard.

Hi all, I currently have one real estate property in Cleveland Ohio (purchased in 2019) but have largely been out of the real estate game since COVID reared it's ugly head.
