You told them you’re interested in investing, but they’re leaving your texts on “read.” This happened a lot to Dave and Henry until they started saying the right thing to agents. Now, they have more investing opportunities than they can handle. What’s the secret to landing an agent who will put you first? They’re sharing the tactic today. We’re back, taking questions from the BiggerPockets Forums, helping you invest in real estate wherever you are. Speaking of locations, an investor is worried about this “big city” they’re about to invest in. But Dave and Henry push back, calling this one market a “sleeper” city for investment properties, one that Dave is actively looking to invest in.

We’ve got multiple options anyone can try. Would you buy a property with 0% down and a 100% loan? This investor is scared of overleveraging himself, but is it worth it for the low investment? Finally, we’re giving you actual steps to lower (or at least stabilize) your renovation budget even with rising material and labor costs.
