Hi Shruti,That sounds like my type of REI investing, feel free to add me to your Network would love to talk shop some time or help in any way.

Build a solid track record with these properties before proposing larger moves.Leverage your commercial experience to identify growth opportunities, and start building out your team.

Finding the Right Deal:Investors often rely on off-market deals (not listed publicly) or network connections.

My husband and I plan to use the proceeds from our sale to purchase a larger business in a few years using an SBA loan.For those interested in exploring entrepreneurship through acquisition, I think laundromats are a great place to start.

If that leads to a more structured and education based meeting, then that is great - if it remains just a place to gather and bounce ideas and network, that's great too.

Meet people and network with them.

You do a 1031 to a new, larger property with even more depreciation.

I use National Tenant Network to run a tenant score and recommendation.

If you have a much larger income then debt then it works. 

I am looking to network and build a strong business relationship with a local real estate agent.
