Shaun Shaun,I am a "specialist" and currently a business owner of a design and drafting company in CT. 

Hi Davis,I live in NC but invest primarily in Greenville SC / upstate with my business partners. 

Some investors also use a business line of credit backed by their cash flow, which can help with future deals.If you’re planning to scale, maybe start stacking that cash for the next property or even park some in T-bills for short-term returns.

Admittedly, I am not one that typically finds paid mentorship very valuable, but I also respect that my degree is in business with a focus on real estate, and my first job out of college was in real estate (so it is a little hard for me to take my 20 yrs of knowledge and rewind it to try to view mentors from a completely fresh lens).A couple points: I view mentors, especially these expensive ones as a catch-22. 

Do you want to own your own real estate like an apartment or retail center and create a side business?

Because I'm busy doing it, lol. 

Hey @Keagan Scott, so I don't have any insight into Gary, IN but here is a blurb -"Those looking to rent out their properties for less than 30 days (about 4 and a half weeks) will have to get a permit, pay a one-time $150 fee, and have a city business license.

My buddy and I have been finding wholesale deals and are in the process of starting a new wholesaling business.
