I think this is a great idea, Jeff. Looking forward to the recommendations from others and also hope to contribute some reputable names/ resources as well. 

Thank you all for the quick responses! 

I suppose a little more specificity on what I am planning on investing in would have cleared up things better. 

I am primarily looking into investing into buy and hold rental properties to begin with, which includes SFRs and small multifamily properties, such as duplexes. Gradually building up monthly cash flow to eventually match, and surpass my regular day to day career. 

I am a newbie real estate investor, and I have been educating myself for the last couple of months. Listening to podcasts daily, reading real estate related articles every day, real estate books, connecting and networking with local investors, the works. 

It has been mentioned dozens of times on the Bigger Pockets Podcasts and through my research that new investors should analyze and practice running the numbers on potential real estate properties before jumping into your first investment.

I am curious to see approximately how many deals that more experienced investors analyzed and crunched the numbers on, prior to your first deal. Or, about how long did you educate yourself before starting out on your first deal? 

I plan on getting into my first deal within the current calendar year, but this info would definitely give me a good idea on where I currently stand as compared to the more seasoned and successful investors. 

Thank you in advance for your responses! 

Looking forward to attending this meetup! 

Looks great! I am a newbie to the real estate investor market, and it is inspiring to see how well your first flip turned out. Best of luck for future jobs and sales! 

Very nice end product!

Thank you for the information @Deborah Burian! I appreciate it.
