Depends what function. Personally I talk to construction people, property management people, those who are doing the ugly stuff to get first hand knowledge. Not those jackwagons you see online like grant Cardone lol

Check out “InvestWithAce” on Instagram, especially his older content. He has hundreds of hours of information about how to find off market deals, how to analyze deals, etc… he also sells properties to his investor list, which you can sign up to join.

I am just exploring right now. RE opps seem to keep changing. Everyone has an opinion.

In my opinion it’s just pulling the trigger and learning. Also meeting people who is doing it. I left my corporate job to do real estate development

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit. The manager just told me my recommendation is not her top pick. I feel frustrated because as much as we talk about the position, I wonder if we are mot aligned on criteria. What do I do? Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
