Quote from @Dave Bobka: Excited to be joining this community!

While you’ll probably be able to eventually prove you’ve been living there.

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

So far, it’s going really well, and I’m glad we made the shift.For me, the decision wasn’t about issues with self-managing but more about freeing up time and mental space to focus on the next steps in our investing journey.Curious to hear others’ experiences as well!

Could you please share with me as well?

Any thoughts for a rookie investor would be appreciated.

well, there are gurus and wannabes that's for sure, but if everyone did some research they could figure that out and get the right people to guide them.

Find a wholesaler and get on their mailing list as well not just realtors.

Don’t forget about direct mail campaigns as well.

do you add bathrooms and convert the garage to rooms as well?
