I am planning to participate in my first auction coming up in the next week.

Do not let a number get in your way of expanding your investment horizon, but most importantly make sure to consider the risk involved, regardless of the level of participation.

I have been in the process with Memphis Invest and feel like they make me the most comfortable in terms of a true turn-key experience...only issue is their props are priced at a premium.For financing, I have about 25K in cash, 35K in a HELOC, and could roll my 401K into an IRA to leverage that (however I am participating in employer match, not sure of repercussions...).Would prefer not to burn my cash, however, if I use my HELOC for the down payment....I would essentially kill my monthly cash flow or make a few bucks.

Great day BP family,I haven’t been actively contributing to the site for the past six months or so because I have been managing and participating in my first rental rehab.

When all of those parts are used, it allows people to take advantage of profitable markets that they otherwise wouldn't have the ability to participate in.  

I am looking to begin by investing in small multifamily homes (4 unit or less) with financing .I am excited to participate in the BP community -- and I would love to meet with anyone in the Chicago area who invests, or is starting out just like myself.Cheers,Danny

In this case, the 401k participant is the trustee, which gives that person checkbook control.

I would love to participate and be involved with the WhatsApp group.

Cost is about $500 every 2 years (license + required education).Get access to RMLS and Sentrilock lock boxes on properties, $1,200 annually (required participation fees and required membership in Realtor associations).There are a few software packages that have made my life a lot easier, these are about $500 annually combined.Until I conduct business FT for 2 years, the state requires one to be supervised.

You can then see the ones that have participated on the forums and see if they know what they are talking about.
