Quote from @Allison Cutlip: My boyfriend and I are closing on our first property soon which is a duplex where we will be living in one side and renting out the other. 

Well this is going to be more mandated by your investor base than anything a mentor can help you with (i.e. there are groups raising money targeting low double digit returns, with limited cash flow, and other groups that need to show mid-20s to get investor interest).Lastly, if you are looking at a mentorship: really hammer on HOW they will help you be successful. 

Before it was primarily retirees who were really looking for the social interaction with owners and other guests. 

@Shiloh Lundahl I will do value add specifically with ADU development, so I am tracking permits to find other ADU developments and overall inventory growth to find a competitive edge with supplying demand in areas lacking larger residential developers aka "the middle housing"@Arlem Garcia Interesting, Tariffs will play a big role in supply chains, so it will be interesting to see how governments come to resolutions@Henry Clark Absolutely, imo gone are the days of investing for cashflow or appreciation, now it's about aligning long-term strategies with lifestyle 

Looking to connect with other investors!

I’m open to other suggestions as well, but especially interested in any info/suggestions regarding the markets listed below.

The other comments are mainly spot on. 

I’m open to ideas and keen to hear what approaches have worked well for others who’ve found success in real estate.

I'm hoping I can meet up and learn from others to level up from where I am.

Any other way to scale with little casH?
