I can relate to where you’re coming from as I’m also new to real estate investing and actively working to build my knowledge and network.

His knowledge of the short-term rental market was invaluable in securing the right property.

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.

It’s clear that there’s an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience here, and I’m excited to continue learning and growing with this community.I’m looking to connect with members who are open to mentoring or collaborating on real estate deals, particularly in buy-and-hold strategies for single-family or multi-family properties.

I feel like I have a strong grasp of the general knowledge needed for a first property, but I’d love to hear something different.

If you are looking for proper guidance from someone that has house hacked quite a few times and has the knowledge and experience to help get you going in the right direction, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

Right now just working on market knowledge in my college town.

While the initial years might not be financially lucrative, the knowledge and skills you acquire will be invaluable.

If you are accredited, the best thing to do would be to invest 50k into a syndication and soak up all the knowledge of how it works from an experienced operator before you make the decision whether it's your plan.

I believe starting with something smaller will help me build the knowledge I need before considering larger deals down the road.
