Hey everyone,I’m both a Private Money Lender (PML) and a real estate investor, and I’ve been seeing a lot of questionable "lenders" popping up online.

Building on existing land helps eliminate the issue of land scarcity, which is a significant challenge due to California’s high real estate prices.

Are you a real estate professional?

I find new lending opportunities by networking at local RE Meetups, Training Classes and real estate functions.   

It's an amazing place to learn and grow in real estate.

And when you combine that with buying off market going direct to seller, you can build a real estate empire while being vertically integrated.All of this aside, whatever market you decide to invest in, please be sure to develop a relationship with a reliable contractor and a project manager.All the best!!!

Hello BP Community,I have  been a BP lurker for many years and after falling out of love with retail real estate- I am oh so READY to get into investing (my first true love).

Quote from @TJ Dittmar: Finally taking the steps to get started real estate investing.

I have found some of the best contractors from Facebook groups in the local market for example "Real Estate Investors of Oklahoma City".

Besides reading and listening to podcasts, my wife and I attend a local real estate investor meetup that has been extremely beneficial.
