    Anyone Flipped a Luxury Home?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Happy New Year Everyone! Yesterday I went to see a home that a wholesaler called me about. It's in a very nice section of town with great schools and lots of luxury homes. The house is new construction and the person who built it just ran out of money. All the big stuff is in place and the...

    PUBLISHING 
    Here's my book on getting started in real estate by buying a 1-4 unit building, living in one unit and renting out the other three. The price is set at $0.99 but if you PM me I can just send you a copy for free: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E1GWKAC/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20

    How to Find a Real Estate Investor for a $250Million Condo Project

    PEOPLE 
    XMartel - I'm sorry but this line was too good to pass up without requoting - call it my immature side.. Anyway, this post is very interesting to me. I have seven multifamily (duplex/triplex) rental properties and have flipped 5 properties in the past 6 years. I thought I was doing pretty...

    REAL ESTATE 
    No credit? No problem. Isn't that what the car dealers say? Seriously, you can raise the money. Go on Biggerpockets and see how to do it. This thread is an example: http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/67/topics/70960-finding-private-money-lenders There are lots more on the site. I also...

    Real Estate Investing books ?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm sorry about what I am about to say but I hate threads that start out with 'Can you recommend a book on ....'. Do you think Donald Trump read a bunch of books on RE investing? Or Eddie Van Halen read a bunch of books on playing guitar? (for you younger folks out there, Eddie Van Halen was a...

    Thank You for Your Service, Entrepreneurs

    I just went through a full day of everyone falling all over themselves thanking me for my service because I am a veteran. This may tick a lot of people off, but it really sickens me to hear this. As a service member, I was not protecting people's freedoms. I was part of the entity...

    IDEA 
    I like it! I will see what I can do with the next two flips I have coming up. Sort of like a 'flipping franchise'?

    Another brainstorming idea

    IDEA 
    I agree completely. I have never done it nor do I want to. I am a total believer in delivering what you promise. That is why I have not been excited about trying to validate ideas. I am working on my idea from another thread...

    I'm all for the action-oriented idea threads. But I don't want to be what we used to call in my flying days 'All thrust and no vector'. I feel like I have all kinds of motivation to get things done (I wake up at 4 in the morning and work on my real estate bookkeeping or other ideas for 2 hours...

    Thanks for everyone for the great responses. I might actually take zend***phin up on his offer but I have two houses I am in the middle of rehabbing so it might be a while:) By the way zend***phin - I believe you were talking about creating a conference call on how to buy apartment buildings...

    IDEA 
    Mike, Thanks for asking. I find that asking and answering the tough questions is the best way to move forward. So here are my answers: 1) I have read the Millionaire Fastlane and loved it 2) I don't have any start-up experience. I am invested in real estate with some rental properties...

    IDEA 
    I have been trying to brainstorm ideas for new businesses, much like James Altucher recommends in his 'Daily Practice'. If nothing else it has really given me something to do while sitting in traffic and keeps my mind off choking the sh*t out of the idiots on the road. What if we had a forum...

    Another brainstorming idea

    IDEA 
    I am trying to brainstorm a millionaire idea and have posted a few before. But I think I have one that might work better than the others and was wondering what people think. In all the sites such as Expedia, Kayak, Travelocity etc. they expect you to put in some dates of travel and they...

    Another new business idea

    IDEA 
    I'm thinking of targeting the offseason niche. Many snowbirds (I don't think) would want to manage their vrbo rental in Minnesota when they are leaving in Phoenix for the winter. They would just like to get a check. Many of their primary residences up north are vacant over the winter and they...

    Great idea. I would think as the baby boom generation keeps retiring, this business would grow.

    Another new business idea

    IDEA 
    Yeah I know about all the horror stories - had some myself. But with VRBO they have to put down a sizable deposit which they will LOSE if they do this stuff. Payment is up front as well. These would not be long term rentals - they would be a night/weekend/week or month. Not enough time to be...

    That was a really good article. The part saying 'getting something rather than nothing' would probably be my business slogan for this idea:)

    48 Unit Apartment Building for $430K - no fix up needed

    REAL ESTATE 
    Thanks for all the input. I've been doing more digging and found the county where this town is located is the 87th most populated county out of 87 counties in my state (Minnesota)! It has also lost somewhere between 3-10% of it's population since 2010 depending on what website I searched for...

    48 Unit Apartment Building for $430K - no fix up needed

    REAL ESTATE 
    I have been a residential RE investor for about 7 years now and am looking to move up to the apartment building lifestyle. I'm just learning about apartments, but I found this deal on CL and would really like to hear some feedback on it. On the surface this sounds great. With 20% down, the...
