This is the fork where I'm not sure if I'd be good to get some CRE exp and invest in learning about how to review deals for the next 2-3 years, or focus on generating revenue for investment purposes and watch how things are done as a LP.My personality more aligns with networking, reaching out to people, connecting, navigating difficult situations and finding solutions that work.

If you learn how to use Hard Money loans properly and how to find good deals in need of rehab, there are plenty of areas of the country where you could buy 3-4 rent properties in solid middle class areas with good cashflow.

Build - Rent - Refinance - Repeat the new BRRR with also hotel development and growing our land entitlement side. hotel development is simple, easy, and has institutional level backing. we really like extended stay development and just came from a hotel conference in Los Angeles. hope to close a few deals this year over 10 million 

This will allow you to take on bigger deals with your cash on hand.LTC is a ratio with the potential to limit your loan amount.

Finding 1 solid deal this year could be your goal.

When it comes to hooking up my follow-up system I've seen a lot of other CRMs fall short with drips (lack of good time delays, no custom mailing function, doesn't pause with a response, can send auto messages after a deal closes, etc) 

We don't allow any "deal-making" in the forums, which includes advertising your services or properties, looking for partners, etc.

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

Unless you use a local professional familiar with the market, who you trust, best way to know a good deal is to study the market.

Now of course there are still deals to be had out there, I am not saying that, but its a lot harder to find those deals today than five years ago when everything was a deal due to low interest rates.We are always buying but this is my business, so we have a team etc. to manage it.
