Glad to be here and look forward to learning from everyone and creating wealth for my children.

Hey everyone, so much great (and free) content here! Thanks @David Dodge for putting this group together. Just getting started in wholesaling and looking to learn all that I can. Hoping to be able to help and contribute wherever I can.

Good morning, Here is an update from today's closing. It went well. It lasted less than an hour. The Plastiq payment was an ACH not a wire; therefore, it will take a few days to post. I have to wire them the difference. I showed them the Plastiq receipt and they were fine with it. The Melio payment (Amex) did not go through. They emailed me and said they do not send money for closings. That really screwed me up bc I now have to tap into my cash. Damn, that hurts. I was trying to use OPM (Other People’s Money). Now, I have to go through Philly’s Licensing & Inspection process to find a tenant. Peace.

What up, Good People: I received a phone call from my Property Manager (PM) who informed me that my tenant, who has not paid me her rent since December 2022 has $1K for me right now. My PM went to pick it up Sunday evening before she spends it or something else happens. My tenant was scheduled to give me $1,900 Friday but Friday came and went and I did not hear from her. I learned from my Property Manager that her car was impounded Friday so she couldn’t give me the whole amount. However, I will accept the $1K w/ a smile. It is better than nothing. She now owes me $6,600 in back rent. I have been truly patient throughout this whole ordeal and will continue to be patient. Two things are happening simultaneously; I do have a Warrant of Removal but I am trying to retrieve the rest of my money before I evict her, and she will get assistance from a rental assistance special program. I am waiting on that. This property cash flows $500 a month and I have missed having my tenant pay down the mortgage. Since December, I have been paying three mortgages. Real estate is tough but it can be very rewarding. The moral of the story is don’t quit, hang in there, and good things will happen. At least this month I do not have to pay the mortgage on that property; she is covering it. Peace.

Hey all, looking for feedback on my VA’s numbers so far month to date. I have 1 VA calling 40 hours a week on a single line dialer. Out of the 8 leads generated so far none are really panning out to be anything. Also 8 leads for 9k dials seems low…maybe not. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Im new to the real estate investing, I hope to learn wholesaling. Looking forward to all the possibilites.

The call replay was added to the Classroom -> Call Replays Section HERE! Also attached is the Whiteboard with the BUY BOX and the Rental Calculator Evaluation! Great turn out today :) Your friend, Dave

As we enter this Memorial Day weekend, pause and give thanks for those that gave all to protect our freedoms. Have an enjoyable holiday weekend, and be safe.

Still haven’t connected with any people yet, Ive been cold calling and sending mailers but have yet to receive any call backs. I know I need to explore new avenues of marketing but I wonder if my voicemails just arent cutting it.. any advice for openers when getting someone on the phone or leaving a voice message? Maybe I'm going about it poorly.

@Mike Slane and I are starting a "Junk Removal Company" for 3 reasons!! 1) We can make money with a new business 2) We can generate house buying Leads from these customers! 3) We can SAVE THOUSANDS on our taxes from all the donations we will make when we are hired to come remove some junk that could be donated to charities / thrift stores / good will / etc.... (We plan to hire people to run it.) Thoughts on this name...?

Im new here, and a beginner in real estate investing! I have a daughter and have been a self employed hair stylist for many years but been about real estate and the more I fed that curiosity the more I realized that there is a real passion and excitement here! I was referred to this program by Don Taylor and already love what this has to offer and excited to connect and learn with some like minded individuals!!! Anyone in the kenosha county area that would be interested in connecting, please feel free to reach out!

Sad news from yesterday Well-known real estate magnate Sam Zell passed away yesterday at the age of 81. Zell, who managed apartments as a college student, founded Equity Group in 1968, which grew to become one of the country's largest real-estate-focused investment firms. Zell referred to himself as the "grave dancer" due to his penchant for buying distressed assets.

Rearranged my day on Wednesday morning to attend a networking function hosted here in St Louis. It was well worth it! I met some great people and learned a couple things. Networking works. Then the long drive to Florida for my grandson’s HS graduation yesterday. I’ll try to keep up while I’m here. Even saw a couple properties to investigate in Alabama.

Good Afternoon Real Estate Skool! I'm changing the Weekly Virtual REIA time on Sundays from 6 pm CST to 3 pm CST in an effort to get MORE PEOPLE on the weekly networking calls :) Does this time work better for you? I know that 6 pm is tough for me as well on Sundays so maybe an earlier time will be better... I can change it again if there is a better time for everyone. What is the best time on SUNDAYS for you to attend a 60-minute Virtual REIA Meeting?

Hello, everyone!! My name is Bill and I am currently a safety manager for a large food service distribution center. I am a Husband, father, and a Jack of many-o-trades. I am looking to create an additional income stream. I hope real estate is the way to do it!!

I think I am going to fast, I am waiting for the new ones to come out

My name is Zach! I'm living in Kansas City installing office furniture full time and working on wholesaling on the side. I hope to be able to be doing wholesaling and investing full time very soon!

We are refinancing 6 rentals and so naturally the lender had them re-appraised. We bought them in 2021 for an average price of 91K per property. The current appriasals came in at an average of $165K per property. Over 2 years that is an increase of $74,000 per property. WOW! Assuming we could sell them at the appraised value that would be a BIG WIN of over $400K gross profit. But the tax man wants a BIG piece of that. So instead we can refinance them up to 80% and pull out close to 250K. (we are not pulling that much out but we could) . The crazy thing about that $250K that we could pull out...it is not income...so you're not paying income taxes on it. #RefiTillYouDie

Hello everybody! I'm from the Cleveland Ohio area and looking to learn from all of you. God willing I'll be able to be someone who can give back to a newbie a year from now. Thank you in advance.

It is great to see training as to what is happening now!!! Not some outdating training that is years old. One training was from last century!
