Howdy! This might not be the proper location for my question but the people I look up to most tread this section. I recently read in Malcolm Gladwell's book "The Tipping Point" (pg72) that "what separates a great sal...

There is nothing sane about what you have to be prepared to do in order to make a start in this business. Please take that as a given. The only thing I can fully agree with Grant Cardone about is his statement that re...

Looks like most of the reviews or case studies on Roofstock are about the closing process. I suppose since the vast majority of investors who’ve purchased properties from Roofstock use the properties as buy-and-hold r...

OK. So - unless you live under a rock, you've by now listened to Podcast 108 featuring Grant Cardone. If you listen between the lines, and you don't have to dig too dip, Grant has nothing particularly nice to say ab...

The FED is slowing pace on rate hikes, the consumer is slowing and the economy is headed into a recession? These are all guesses at this point and some believe this will happen or is happening. If the FED eases with...

I'm currently renting in Los Angeles and the rents are super high. I

I currently have 3 SFH rentals solely owned (1 in San Francisco Bay Area and 2 in Indianapolis metro area) and 1 apartment building in the Bay Area with co-investors). I have a lot of equity in the Bay Area house and ...

This question is one I pose to anyone who has an opinion on the topic. Obviously we're all here because we like something about the idea of REI and passive income. As the process goes, we find a "good deal" in some ar...
