Hi! Quick Question: As a Senior in Highschool, My goal is to become a real estate investor/multi-millionaire mainly with multifamily investments and possible commercial deals in future, what course/college you need to attend, to increase the probability? (Big dreams I know but I’m ready to put the effort in!!) I have 2 paid REI Internships Right now so I think I’m kinda going on the right path!?
Should I work towards my realtor license? I’m 18
Im going into Finance major and MIS minor (Open to pursue something else based on yalls input!) am currently in my application process in-state Texas and I am quite confident I can get into A&M (For the wonderful connections) but not totally sure about Ut Austin. I also plan on ED'ing/Early Committing to a low tier ivy such as Cornell or Brown since it would be feeder schools to a great finance job just to create some initial capital!
What are the important factors to consider when selecting a college? My bachelors can be from a decent college. But for masters I want to go for an IVY league if possible. It is better to get good GPA from a decent school, or low GPA from a good school, to gain admissions to a reputed MBA/ IVY MBA like UPenn?
What do yall think like what school I should go to for connections and really kickstart my career the best! Thank you so so so much in advance :)
Any suggestions? Property is in Glendale

Hello everyone. I am new to real estate sales, on the front lines. Would really love to understand which line of trade is better to enter as a real estate agent- residential or commercial? I would love to understand the challenges, promises, and sales processes for the both. Thank you in advance.
Hi Folks,
I'm researching how real estate professionals use web scraping and data collection. Could you share your insights?
Your experiences and thoughts will be invaluable in understanding the current needs in the real estate industry. Please share in the comments or DM me if you prefer.
Thank you!
I am considering buying an off market single family home in the Bay Area from a neighbor who is a retired realtor. I'd like to know what to look out for throughout this process. The home has clearly been well cared-for, and owner/realtor is a neighbor so I inherently trust him more than a stranger, but I certainly don't want to be screwed, especially since this is a higher price point than I'd been looking at. Comparables in the neighborhood are priced at or above the asking price. I'm not a realtor nor especially savvy, but I have purchased one home before.
I am Scott I am 18 and from Ohio I have ran my own businesses and was a manager in training at arbys. I have a good amount of experience for only being 18 I have acquired certifications in project management, Leadership, Management, etc all of those certifications being from Google, IBM, SAS, MSU, Yale. And I have applied for property management jobs but I can't land a interview and I'm not fully sure on how to get leads and land interviews.
Wheŕe is the best place to advertise selling a house?

Hello all. I'm seeking advice regarding two properties, one in the state of Arizona and another in the state of California. My end goal with these properties is to rent them; however, they are in need of maintenance/repairs (the pool is empty in one for example) and as a result they are not rent ready. I have plans to set up a business entity for both and to place them within a Wyoming Holding Company.
My primary question is how can I go about getting these properties fixed up, rent ready, and cash flowing without going far into personal debt? What are my options being that I do intend on placing these units within business entities? There is no mortgage to pay for either. Only insurance and yearly property taxes.
The buyer had a ten day period for inspections. They waited until the end, asked for a radon test, said they needed to extend the period so they could get those results back, we extended it and then they said a roofing company is now coming to inspect the roof, and they've canceled the appraisal "until after the inspection period". To me this sounds like they have no intention of paying the full price, we are unwilling to give any money for repairs, so at this point do we have to wait out the extra days we granted for he radon inspection (which seems like it was just a fares) since they've cancelled the appraisal? Can we get out now and get back on the market because of that or are we obligated to wait the extra days until it runs out?
I'm looking to better understand how NRIs can navigate the complexities of NRO/NRE banking, TCS deductions, and compliance with Form 15CA/15CB. How have you managed these processes? Has converting to an NRO account helped reduce tax liability or TCS? I'd love to hear your experiences or any strategies you found helpful for managing the repatriation of funds!

The previous owner was building it for off the grid without any permits i'm trying to make everything legit so I can flip it or rent but the house is over 200 squarefeet which requires a building permit which requires well and septic permits that I don't have.
I'm putting a septic in I need to have the health department out to inspect it but I'm worried about the health department saying I have to get rid of the unpermitted house among a couple other smaller things (solar, rain water collection, outhouse)
Is there any chance they'd make an exception because I'm trying to get permits or would they have to make me take down anything that isn't permitted
As the headline already said: I want to buy an apartment or condo or something similar, live in it 3 months of the year (that's the time I am allowed to stay with my visa) and the rest of the year to rent it out, maybe Airbnb, maybe something else.
Are here some realtors who had clients who also did this? Is it possible at all? I know I am allowed to buy property, but I am not sure if I am allowed to put it on AirBnB as an European citizen.
Maybe someone knows at least something. I googled a lot, but it not seems to be a common thing as I found already nothing about this topic. Maybe I used the wrong key words.
I would appreciate every tip. Thanks in advance.
So, my grandparents accumulated a lot of property, probably around 30 acres. My dad had originally set up on a plot with a double wide trailor and along the years he started renting little units to people, pulling in new trailers, renting those, then an RV, etc. When it came time for my grands to divide up all the land for inheritance, one of the plots of land I was given was the one my father's little community was on. I allowed him to just keep on doing what he was doing and just stayed away from it all but as of late I believe that the conditions of those "apartments" are becoming unsafe. With age of materials and everything. Would I be held liable if anything were to happen on that land if say, a fire broke out or something? I have nothing to do with any of it other than my name on the deed. I feel terrible about possibly having to kick my own father off the land or to sell it from under him. He's my dad, ya know?
I bought a house and was told in writing the AC worked great. I asked my agent for any maintenance receipts on the AC but she never gave them to me. The inspector said he couldn't test it since the temperature was too low outside and it would compromise the unit by turning it on
. I made the Mistake of not insisting on having those records and receipts before closing and not having a list of all the items needed before closing time. Certain things were kind of just pushed to the side by my agent. Yes I should have insisted on those before closing.
I did get it in writing from the sellers agent that AC worked great.
Part of escrow was to let the sellers live there for 4 weeks. About 2 weeks after we closed we had a heatwave. The sellers called me and said the AC wasn't working. This was the first time they needed to turn it on.
I thought well that really sucks but I moved forward and met with a AC sales representative about getting a new AC and we were discussing prices and different brands of hvac. He mentioned that he was just at that house a year prior talking to the sellers of the house about replacing the AC because their AC wasn't working.
I contacted the previous owners and ask them to compensate me $500, which is extremely reasonable. The AC cost me over $6000. I also let them know what the sales rep told me about him speaking with them about replacing the AC because they said they were having problems with it when they were living there in June 2023.
The previous owners said their agent recommended not paying since I didn't do my due diligence.
What would you do if you were told it worked great and then found out they met
with a hvac sales representative the previous year inquiring about buying a new one.
Thank you in advance . Sorry for typos
Hi, I am curious to see if anyone would be willing to share with me the ins and outs of getting into Real Estate. I want to pursue owning and renting small duplex’s/multi-family homes. Eventually getting in to larger properties such as small apartment complex’s and so forth. I want to start from zero capital, probably not possible regardless I still want to learn what all I need, where to go and who to talk to. I know I need an LLC or some sort of entity is preferred but how do I start…in a way I know how to start. My biggest road block is capital. Sounds silly but how can I start with zero capital. Thanks!
Me and my father Co own a property in northern VA which I'm interested in selling but my father lives overseas and is not a u.s. citizen. The property is also not my primary residence. Any advice on how I should proceed ? What will I need?
Hey everyone! My name is Owen and I'm an undergrad student at UCSD. Me and a couple friends have been working on a site that facilitates realtors' day-to-day using Al. We've received great feedback on campus but are now looking for real estate professionals that would be willing to take a couple minutes and check out what we've built. Any insight professionals in the field have would be invaluable, and you can find our waitlist at www.properlyai.co
Issue: A son the true owner of the property, signed a deed of sale that includes his parents (signed because they requested), who have passed away. Additionally, the son has four unsigned siblings (three of them has an interest about the property). Aside from that one of the interested siblings has the true copy of the deed of sale (which apparently steeled to the owner the son) and other supporting document (such as forcing their father to stamp and sign a document request letter about the property). Are the siblings qualified to get involve about the property? Are the document that the other sibling can be valid to own the property?
I am a senior in college who received a great job offer in NYC but live in Boston. Instead of paying NYC rent, I had the idea of house-hacking to lower living expenses while building wealth. I have around $60k from college jobs and internships and my starting salary next year will be $120k + bonus.
I guess my question is what advice would you have in approaching this? Open to North Jersey as well. I have until next July to figure this out.
Hi all, I run a small startup that focuses on NOT the delivery of low quality leads to real estate agents but rather the delivery of in-depth and robust market intelligence to agents who are new or stagnant & wanting to uncover the next big market. We’ve been seeing success so far, but usually the path of least resistance is where people want to go, so wondering if we’re a viable option.
Very top level of our work, we generate reporting through analysis and scoring of locations for things agents have told us they want to know more about and deliver that information to them at a tiered price. More insight/strategic recommendations = higher price
Instead of the Zillows/Realtors of the world charging $1500+ for unqualified leads expecting them to come back for more, our value prop is that we appeal to small town agents looking for that first, or next, leg up with our 15+ years of market intelligence/GIS and say “here’s the best places to go, good hunting.”
My question to you is is this something you’d be interested in as an agent?

We’re getting ready to list our home, moving about 600 miles away. We’re getting rid of lots of things, but wondering if it’s OK to store some in a Pod in the yard, or will the Pod itself be too much of a detractor? Will also ask our realtor, just looking for opinions.
I've been thinking a lot lately about the challenges we face when trying to engage communities in urban development projects. Traditional methods like public hearings and in-person meetings are valuable, but they often come with high costs and logistical hurdles. Plus, getting meaningful feedback from the community can be tough when you're working with static plans and renderings.
I’ve come across a few ideas (and possibly some new tools) that could potentially revolutionize how we involve communities in the planning process:
I’m curious to hear your thoughts—especially from those who’ve worked on large urban projects or have experience with community engagement. Do you think these ideas could help us overcome some of the hurdles we face in planning? How would you approach integrating such tools into your workflow?
Looking forward to the discussion!

A team and I have recently developed a new property management application. I am looking to get some feedback from rental investors on the app.
Our app provides a platform for landlords to add their rentals for renters to find. Allows renters to fill out applications, sign lease agreements, rent and pay, send maintenance requests, safely communicate, ect. All with in one platform.
It provides a place for landlords to easily go through almost of the steps to land a great renter including background checks and lease agreement templates. Land lords can store and easily look up applications, lease agreements, background checks and a ton more features.
We take a fee of $15 per door plus a transaction fee when the tenant pays their rent. Which is easy for a landlord to tac on to the end of the rent.
We are wanting to know how likely you would be to use the application for your rental?
Things that you would prefer changed or added on the application.
Or anything else you would care to elaborate on the application.
If you would like to check it out you can download it in your apple store or google play store. Also we have some videos of some of the processes on our linkedin.
