NEW investor - looking for tips, connections, or partnerships/mentorships!
Hi BP world :)
I am a newbie looking for recommendations, mentorship, partnerships, and any guidance for out of state investing, you all may have to offer. At this time I am interested in BRRRR and/or mid-term rentals, interested in areas in Tuscaloosa, AL, Oklahoma City, OK, Tucson, AZ or Cleveland OH as the markets best fit my current financials and seem lower risk for a beginner. I am currently located in the Monterey CA area and would love to make some connections. PM if you're interested and looking forward to hearing from you all!

hello and welcome. unfortunately, out of state BRRRR is a very high risk option for a beginner. if you're serious about it, i'd be flying out to your chosen market on a regular basis, going to meetups, building a network, and spending 6-12 months looking for your first project.
and if you can't do that... then don't try an OOS BRRRR. you'll just lose money.
i'd start with a house hack if you can. i know, i know - California is expensive. but getting crushed by capex on a random OOS property and setting yourself back years is expensive too.
happy to help / go into more detail.
