It's probably a good idea if you are getting started, just be able to bring something to the table, either; knowledge, hustle or money.

Whats a good audiobook for the road on real estate or finances ?

But as long as you either have good market knowledge or are working with someone who provides you with that knowledge, you won't run into many appraisal surprises.I mostly invest/list/sell in the Onondaga County area, drifting just a tad north/south/east/west into adjoining counties. 

Some investment bankers and family offices talk about diversity and that can make sense if someone has a very basic knowledge  of different asset classes of investment types.

People don’t have time for handouts in this crazy world but if you can bring something to the offering table all sorts of knowledgeable people are willing to give hand ups. 

Mainly because their knowledge base is limited, which has a lot to do with not knowing what knowledge they need. 

Needing to make a switch to someone who has specific knowledge regarding real estate investing and building a business.Thanks in advance.

You can Drive 4 Dollar , do other marketing while employed... that will give you time to ramp up into real estate investing knowledge...as well as W2 for bank financing if needed.

I’m learning what I can to be knowledgeable about investing.

I may PM you for more information or at least how to direct these conversations as I don't frankly want to be more knowledgeable about the Series than my attorney.
