Run from paid gurus! Residential investing is not rocket science, knowledge is not the issue: there are many good books out there that walk you through every detail you need to know. And then you have BP and an army of experienced investors happy to answer your question or poke holes in your deal before you pull the trigger..

Be honest with yourself, are you looking for moral support? Nobody ever went broke over a duplex, I know this now,  but I have to admit I had some serious doubts about this when I started 16 years ago, I bought every course I could find, already on CD's, this was post cassette tapes lol, and I paid RichDad Education for a one year coaching program (turned out my coach was a girl in a call center without any actual experience). My agent was a very nice older lady, but no idea about investing, it all worked out and once the first rent checks started coming in started gaining some confidence. This is where everyone started.

Residential investing is very forgiving by nature, you have to try hard to really screw it up. Buy a quality property, stay away from the hood, rehab it as if you would move in, take your time picking a tenant, you'll be find.

@Greg P.

have you tried networking, going to meetups, or even starting your own mastermind or meetup for this?

there is a ton of free content available for this space and investors LOVE to talk shop.

@Greg P.

Im not a coach, but I built a portfolio of mostly small MF and would be pleased to connect and discuss.

Our focus is on mid market 50-100 unit's but happy to help. May I ask why you are specifically looking for smaller deals? Feel free to DM me.

 I have a few lenders who coach their prospects. Let me know if you want to connect with them. 

Hey @Greg P. and @Max Ferguson. Just send you DMs/connection requests about this very thing! Looking forward to connecting.

Greg,

What type of mentor are you looking for, in terms of where do you need the most help right now?

Hi Matthew,

I’ve been conducting my own research and self-learning over the past several months, trying to absorb as much as I can on my own. However, I’ve reached a point where I feel I’ve gone as far as I can by myself. Being highly analytical—perhaps to my own detriment—I recognize the need for guidance and support from a mentor to help me take the next step and actually pull the trigger on my first property.

 I want to immerse myself in the real estate investing space as much as possible. Getting that first deal under my belt with the help of a mentor would significantly accelerate the process and build my confidence.

I’m a firm believer in learning by doing—trial by fire, making mistakes, and growing from them. However, I also want to be as prepared as possible, leveraging the guidance of those who have successfully navigated this path before me. 

Reading your profile it seems as if you are absolutely crushing it in your market. Do you offer such services? Look forward to connecting further. 

I'm interested in this as well. I feel that there aren't many courses due to areas of the county being different. There may be some discords or Skool communities that cater to this? 

Happy to give you opinions on deals if you need to review some stuff. Multifamily Millions by David Lindahl is a good book to start with as well, although he grows out of the smaller stuff quickly. Multifamily MILLIONAIRE by Brandon Turner is a good read on it if you haven't read that yet as well. 

 This is everything. Buy quality, if that means every 2-4 years not annually so be it. Prepared to hold for 8 years, ideally 10-12. Watch the benefit of hard assets, especially in the future.
