Question: I'm an agent trying to deal with an owner on a small commercial prop says once a buyer signs LOI they can get any relevant leases do their due diligence as well as do their inspection before going to contrac...

We are similar in the have enough, but my RE holdings likely make up a bigger portion of my portfolio.  

We did have one contractor re-pave our driveway but other than that, we haven't had any actual construction work done on the house, so I haven't used any contractors.

Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

I'm going to have a floor guy take a look to be sure, but let's assume I can't re-sand and I'll either have to put new flooring over the old original floors or just tell the next prospective tenant, that's how the floors will be, which lowers the appeal of a very rentable apartment.   

Buying RE is nothing like buying index funds or stocks - Google it for 15 minutes, click on buy shares.

I'm more familiar with the residential side of RE, being part of many remodels and home projects, but would like to have expertise in both commercial and residential.

There are a lot of ways to invest in RE and each requires building necessary skills.  

This is a good question.I found that meetups are kind of like you described not much really happens there and for sure REIAs and their monthly meeting kind of the same people talking about the same thing then bring in ( at least what i have seen with the PDX reia) folks that are presenting on things that worked decades ago.. and want to sell their stuff for a few grand.For me personally the best networking hands down was SF Bay Area events  San Jose Reiaand LA  FIBI events.folks in those markets are very real estate centric and generally more experienced and in San Jose so many tech folks that have done really really well.. maybe not in RE but have done great in TECH and have quite a bit of bandwidth for investments..
