You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey.Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

And as an LP, I can do 75% of my due diligence from my desktop computer, the rest is going to the properties themselves, going to sponsor meetings, talking with other investors etc, which is a ton of fun. good luck :)  

You'll be able to meet seasoned investors that can direct you in the right direction.

We have a meet up scheduled soon for our local investors. 

All have to be screened and meet your qualifications.
