In today’s competitive real estate market, where inventory is tight and opportunities seem few and far between, many potential buyers are overlooking a game-changing option: renovation loans like the 203(k) and HomeStyle.

Are you a real estate professional?

I’m in the process of getting my real estate salesperson license to gain access to MLS listings as well.

The DST structure is a direct, passive and fractional interest in institutional quality real estate which allows for flexibility and diversification.  

Hey Noah Hope Your Doing Great ,My name is Dequan, and I'm a wholesaler specializing in distressed properties in Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.I came across your message and wanted to add to the suggestion of using Facebook groups to network with real estate investors.

Any person ever worked with Paul Argueta (Dispodragons) or Alex Martinez (Real Estate Skills) as a mentor/coach, what has your experience been like?

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

@Dan ShuderRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

And how much progress has be made?

It's also quite possible to buy REAL leather furniture that will last for a decade on FB Marketplace, much of it rarely used.
