1. Be willing to work and sacrifice comfort if necessary.
2. It is not that hard to find "livable" houses right now for 10 or 15K. Even less.
3. If you are short on money then move in the house yourself while it is...

Hi there - I'm considering buying a STR out of state (I live in the SF Bay Area, so costs are pretty outrageous here). I'd love any advice on identifying and vetting properties from afar. I'm also curious if anyone ha...

Had 11 pipefitters in my big house. 3 story, 4 baths and a jacuzzi. 9 beds, 11 guys, day and night shift. I was collecting weekly rent and one guy asked me if I wanted to stick around and see the show. I asked wha...

I am close to completing my first flip, I started out doing all the work, but since I have a full time job and it was taking too long I ended up getting a contractor to help complete it. It looks great. But on to...

Hey there BP,
I recently had the next 6 months worth of the Roddy Report fall in to my lap, and I'm trying to determine how best to make use of it. Does anyone see any value in using it as a mailing list?
I underst...

My wife and I are planning to use our VA loan to acquire SFRs and rent them out once we have met the occupancy requirement. Living in Denver makes it difficult to find properties that would cash flow immediately, but ...

Hey guys, I’ve got a strategy question.
I have a property with roughly 100k in equity that cash flows $600 per month. How would you suggest I tap into that? Sell, refi, heloc?

I'm almost 50 and just woke up to the power of REI. Kicking myself for not learning about this 30 years ago. But here I am, and I have a decent pile of cash ($120K) and a pretty good 401K. So I'm in a great positio...
