@Erik Schneider Not a real estate book, but you should read The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks. The book talks about overcoming your fears which are limiting from reaching your zone of genius. 

It's here in the 'zone of genius' where you will feel most creative, alive, and free. 

I recommend you check it out. It will help you have a shift in mindset, which most investors need when thinking about doing BIG THINGS in real estate. 

Best of luck to you mate. 

@LaTara G. I'm in agreement with @Omar Khan hopefully you would have your investors lined up before the PPM. 

With that said, if you don't have investors lined up already, I would reach out to people in your network to see who's interested. I believe this is where you will find the most success.

Now, I'm not saying you can't do the digital marketing, but if you're lacking the experience or online authority it could be tough to raise money from new investors with no prior relationships. 

Best of luck mate:)

@Karthik Ramachandran I would strongly consider investing in landlord friendly states. It will make your life much easier. Once, you've picked a state, you can narrow it down to a specific submarket.

Happy New Year:)

@Christopher Lane You said "I also have 10k in my retirement that I'm going to drain." You should speak with your advisors about the tax implications.

If you were to switch to a self-directed ira (SDIRA) you could invest in real estate. The only catch with this is you can't invest directly into real estate you would be directly involved in.

As far as mentorship goes, BP is a great place to start. I'm also relatively new to CRE and was able to find mentorship on BP. So, if I can do it, so can you.

Have a great New Year!:)

@Derek Gibbs Congrats to you sir! Keep up the hard work and best of luck to you in the future!

@Franklin Bird Here's an article by our CEO Omar Khan which goes into detail about investing in CAP Rates.

Hope this helps. 

Happy Holidays:)

• @John Abraham got to this website and enter in the properties address. It should give you the taxes for the property http://www.acpafl.org/searchaddr.asp

Hope this helps. 

Merry Christmas:)

@James Canoy Is this deal possible? Maybe. But, I'm not really in a position to tell you if it is or isn't.

If you're starting out in RE and looking to GO BIG that's fine. There's nothing wrong with that.

But, you should focus on what you're good at and build that out.

• Deal Flow
• Capital Raising
• Experience
• Underwriting
• Networking
• Marketing, etc. 

Focus on your strengths and partner up with people who complement you. Do this and it's possible to take on a deal of this size. 

Best of luck to you my friend. 

Let me know if you have any further questions or need help. 

@Rosemarie Farnum by doable are you referring to price? 

If this is the case I would rather have a property with less doors in a market which I love, than a property in a less desirable market with more doors. 

This is abroad assumption, but you get the idea. 

If you could provide more specifics it would give us a better understanding of the properties in which you're considering. 

@Tyler Merritt Here is a checklist to help point you in the right direction. 

Cheers
