It may be time to find a new PM. 

I didn’t have much money and needed to find a way to get in the game. 10 years later, I’ve got 29 SFR that profit 19k/month (not including things breaking or vacancies).

Also, hyperfocus helps me find a home with the right conditions - a stable but increasing-value neighborhood.

It's rare that you'll find a good seller for #1, so the only option remaining is to document the condition from the day of purchase.

When you have both, it's very hard to quit and when you find it hard to quit-- it's likely you won't fail. 

We are a not for profit member community that has tons of networking events, educational seminars and vendors to help you in any journey you find yourself attracted to. 

Is it mainly a sales pitch or is there good knowledge that you cannot find elsewhere?

Talk to a trusted lender (preferably local) about what loan options are available to you.You can absolutely find some solid SFRs or even multi families around, but the cash flow on many will be lower the first few years, unless you are willing to do some value add work or buy in distressed areas with less expectation for future appreciation or price stability.If the goal is to have value down the road to cash in for a pivot, don't forsake appreciation for maximum cash flow.

I actually went to a REI meetup yesterday, and I was able to find a lender to help me out.

I work with several real estate developers across the country and they all do it differently.My suggestion is to find a property type and an area/neighborhood/city/market that you are drawn to and plot your course from there.As for the amount of money you'll need, it's gonna be mostly driven off the purchase price of the property.
