Advice for Jumping in to CRE

[Mike Jeski]

Hi everyone,

What advice do you have for a small-scale investor interested in scaling into CRE? I have two residential rental doors with a fair bit of equity, which I've not yet leveraged. I'd like to leverage this into a mid-size multifamily via cash-out refinance. The other complicating factor is that I currently reside in a different area of the country than that in which I am interested in investing. Without having a tremendous network of professional contacts in my desired market already established, I'm finding there to be a little challenge in growing this network remotely, though I know this is an important aspect in getting to the next stage in investing.

Lots more questions, but I'll start there.  Thanks so much for any pearls you can share!
