I have a client in ATL that knows STR very well and could provide some resources if needed.

I help investors optimize their financial strategy by implementing the Infinite Banking Concept (IBC), finding the best insurance for their properties and cars, and connecting them with legal experts for living trust creation.

Find local real estate investor meetups and attend the meetings.

How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I'll throw in my 2 cents on common differences I've seen in my career:CDFIs - Because of their subsidized financing structure, they have the ability to be a low cost lender (and sometimes provide grants).

Contractors, unless you have a working relationship with them, normally do not want you bouncing ideas off them.Understand what their hourly rate is, have a discussion with them that you are okay with paying them an hourly rate if they walk the property with you and provide you a scope of work along with an explanation of what you can/can't get away with in regards to improvements.ask them if you go with them, if they can credit you the amount that you paid.Once you develop a working relationship with a few contractors, you can bounce ideas off them and expect quality responses.I do not invest in New York.Best of luck. 

A lot of agents don't want to have to educate someone who is broke and has dreams of financial freedom through real estate just to find out you can't buy.

I think initially it makes sense to find properties that already have finished basements, in-law suites, etc. as converting those spaces to ADUs will be inexpensive and create a significant amount of rental income ($2,000/month+ in most areas close to the city).

Also, most Umbrella Policies only pay out if your underlying policy pays out, and the underlying policy will do everything they can to find an exclusion or that you were negligent (which you probably were) in the cause of action to get out of paying the claim.

Hi, did you have any luck finding wholesalers on Long Island?
