Hi Neil! Welcome to BiggerPockets and thanks for joining!

Here are some tips for networking and making the most of your account.

1) I'd fill out your profile fully before you do anything else! As that will at least help folks that you reach out to know that you are a real person, with a picture and professional bio. Particularly be sure to include your goals for real estate investing so that folks can help you.

2) Go to the Search bar, and look for some local members in your area! Reach out to a few of the folks, perhaps those with hundreds or thousands of posts in this forum, and connect. You can do that here.

3) Check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

4) Review this comprehensive 64 page deck on the state of the 2023 housing market (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!) for real estate investors put together by Dave Meyer and available for all BiggerPockets members.

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started! An investor friendly agent can do all sorts of helpful things, like setting you up with a search for properties or connecting you with folks who have recently done deals like the ones you want to do.

6) Consider analyzing a deal or two in your local market, just for practice, with a free use of our Rental Property Calculator (or other calculators).

Hope this helps! Please reach out with any questions you may have!

Hey Jesus!

I would check out some of the local meetups that you can find in this forum! There are so many so be sure to filter by your location.

This recent blog post regarding  Top 5 Recession-Proof Housing Markets In 2023 could be a good read if you are looking at different markets and are unsure where to start. 

Lastly, I would recommend reading The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume I for some great advice on how to get a portfolio started in multifamily real estate!

Depending on your strategy, HOA rules could be a concern. If you are looking to short term rental, I would look closely at the Rules, Regulations, Bylaws, and Covenants of the HOA to see their minimum lease terms. The other concern is HOA dues rising over time which could lower your return.
