Good job on getting started.

Quote from @Andrew Swaim: hey everyone, I have a couple investment properties but i have never found a awesome discounted deal, the last BRRRR i did was just alright, i started using deal machine but all my cold calling is coming up empty, the wholesalers in my area have been sending out crap.

I specialize in small multifamily properties and house hacking working alongside BiggerPockets podcast guest Andrew Freed to help investors find high-performing deals in Central MA.My Background:  - Started in late 2019 I utilized an FHA loan to get my first 3 family property in Fitchburg, spent about a year fixing it up and soon after I refinanced. 

Quote from @Erica King: Hey hey so I’m a single mom that started house hacking a little over a year ago .

@Cyndi Lees the thing that catches my eye in your post is that it would require quite a bit of work to get it started as a rental.

I recently locked down my first property as I start on my real estate adventure. 

Would greatly appreciate advise on how to start sourcing the land and/or connect me to land brokers who can help.Thank you in advance!

For the crowdfunding and similar platforms that are starting to rise, would the lower returns be a result of the diversification they provide or due to the different risks they come with?
