•Deal evaluation: Simple, actionable advice or tools to help me confidently analyze and structure deals.I’m also looking to network with wholesale-minded agents, understand local buyers’ preferences (buy boxes), and explore mentorship or partnership opportunities that can help me gain momentum.I’m eager to learn, take action, and build something impactful for my family.

Normally, my preference would be a Duplex for ease of learning, but after looking at the price point in a place like Cleveland, I theoretically could purchase two Single Family's there.

You could also check what Realtors in your market are preferred agents here on BP- they should have at least a little experience with investing and a network built up. 

Ken, I would prefer to do that, but I wasn't sure if any banks would offer that type of loan or line of credit.

Replacing a bathtub with a shower can make narrow bathrooms feel larger and more modern.That said, consider keeping at least one bathtub in the building for market appeal, as families with small children or certain renters may prefer it.

Preferably a duplex.
