I think there is so much value in having a supportive network, so I'm looking to set up a monthly lunch for us to exchange ideas, tips, and encouragement.

Any advice, tips, or examples of how you’ve handled this would be greatly appreciated!

Examples could include:Partnering with other investors to share risk.Using seller financing or lease options.Leveraging creative rehab techniques to save on costs.Negotiating with contractors in a unique way to reduce expenses.I’d love to hear any stories, tips, or approaches that helped you pull off a deal others might have instantly passed on.

Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated!!

Forgive me if im being a bit forward: would you be willing to give some sort of tips/guidance of the process ypu went through from start to finish?

I appreciate the tips @Timmi & others.

Any tips on finding reliable professionals in my area?
