I'm just curious, if any agents or investors have any success stories about linking up with clients, agents or business partners on bigger pockets.I remember meeting a future client at an open house last year and after we realized we were both bigger pockets members, a business relationship and friendship was formed instantly.  

My time is valuable and I've gotten burned too many times by investors who ask me to come out and look at a project with the impression they own it and I'm bidding. 

I understand you've been burned by a bad property manager, but you're probably better off trying to find a better property manager than trying to manage it from afar.

They rebuilt on the same lot after their home burned down a few years back. 

The downside of an oil town is that a major change in the price of oil can alter these indicators in an instant.  

It's easy to burn a lot of times on what-ifs when in reality the property is not for sale.

What a pleasure and honor to work with someone as passionate as I ( I am humbled to say maybe more than I).The deal offered us instant equity to which we cashed out some funds to do another project together on a refi after the initial closing.

I just heard about a house I did work on a while ago that was burned to the ground because the people there were welding in the garage..I agree that there is the potential for your tenant to be doing it safely; however, if I had heard my tenant was welding in the basement, safely or not, I would have a problem with it and (diplomatically) try to shut it down.

Now you've got other options open to you, like partnering with people who put their money in instead of you because they're protected by the instant 30% equity you bought the property at.

I feel that once I complete construction and move in tenants paying the same, if not more, as the other property mentioned, that I could have a similar listing value/instant equity and the other property.
