Randy Bratt in the northtowns is super helpful. He’s an Enrolled Agent and also deals insurance in the same building. 

Hi Christopher, 

Thank you for the reply. That is awesome to know, property management and construction too, sound well rounded. I live in Kenmore area and Lovejoy is not far away at all. 

I believe what you are saying, thank you for the insight. 

Hi everyone,

Am new to the real estate salesperson world here, have just passed my course work and scheduled the NYS licensing exam next week. 

I was wondering if this community reached out towards WNY area. Would like to find a mentor or a coach in sales or a broker who can guide and teach me the way to success. Hard working, motivated, and driven here. 

Thank you all for your support

Hi-

Novice investor here, I have been following bigger pockets for a number of years. Over the past few I have acquired 4 units that I have been self managing. Jumping through some hoops to begin and now moving along smoothly, I still run into some barriers. Figuring out how to scale and what direction may be best, I would really like to find a kind of mentor who is well versed. I'm eager to learn more and grow. I'm knowledgable to make a good decision, I'd like to find someone to guide towards the best decision. In real estate through managing and analyzing the market and opportunities, I'm open to learning something new. 

Western New York here, Buffalo. This doesn't have to be local, e-communications are great. Thanks.


That's good to hear that you are starting out Collin, you can always contact or ask advise with experienced professionals, attend industry events and join other local investor groups to network and potentially find a mentor. 
You could also, use an online platforms that enables you to connect with experienced investors that offers mentorships. 

You can also reach out to me anytime, Collin. Best of luck! ;) 


 Thank you! I'll have to look into that.

Hi. Am fairly new to the rental game. I have 4 units, each cash-flowing pretty well. End of the second year and have acquired the 4 units across two different properties. They happen to be across the street from each other too. With aprs going up and resources limited, waiting on properties to produce more, where should I be looking. Are foreclosures a good deal, or maybe get into short term rental in hot spots. A little more conservative buying outside my market, I am self managing at the moment. 

Thank you for your time, anyone who read this. Thanks for your insight,
