Might be tougher on you guys who do the rental refi game ?

The closing costs and your down payment is your cash to close requirement and what you as the buyer will have to bring to the table at closing. 

If the property is vacant, let the agent know the time table to get it occupied.  

Syndicate capital from passive investors and you put some skin in the game while putting in a majority of the sweat equity.

Read books, listen to podcasts, go to local meetups, look and analyze properties, make investor friends online, consume real estate content, go to physical and virtual conferences, to name a few. real estate is sort of a long game, you'll always be learning so once you make good habits the wins will follow 

The name of the rental game is minimizing YOUR expenses.  

I'm late to game on bigger pockets. 

Hello everyone,There is a property that I am interested in: 2 BD, 4 BA (2 Full & 2 Half) , 2500 sqft listed at $370kThis house has an additional Game / Office Room 14x16 sqft.Based on comps in the area, a 3 BD & 4 BA is selling $425k-450k.

Ideally in the area - I like to know who I'm dealing with this early in the game, down the road might make more sense to go remote.I've got my first year of RE investing down (actually picked up a couple properties somehow in this market) and have come to the next hurdle.

But it doesn't matter how much expertise, or time, or even how much money you have -- I believe there is a place for just about everyone at the table.
