Hi all, My husband and I have been managing our properties since 1997 in North central Mass and southern Vermont, None of our friends share this passion and I can't wait to chat with some of you who have been or wish to do the same thing.

I have a private investor (my friend, not experienced) who would like to give me a loan for an eventual flip (we are holding it for one year first which has nothing to do with the flip itself, but a family matter), and we agreed that I would pay her interest only on her principal for that year. 

That seems high to me, but I haven't done a lot of research into what individual units go for in that immediate area.

I've had streets where I couldn't find a single property to add to my list and I've had individual streets where I add 10 houses over the course of five minutes.

I have a friend in Virginia beach who has been very successful investing in real estate so it piqued my interest.

Hi BP friends, our company in Texas doing RE investments in Detroit, any good Real Estate Attorney recommendation who knowledgeable/experienced with Detroit market.I appreciate your input Thank you

My investor friend who is quite successful told me that was not a good enough... that I needed to find comps knowing exactly the upgrades in each.

@Nick WhitakerSo I just did this for a friend actually who left her previous realtor.

We stayed on air mattresses at a friends house.

Heuristics are great for quickly weeding out terrible investments, but they should only be the first step when considering the merits of any individual property.Imagine 2 identical homes built at the same time across town from each other.
