I’m drawn to real estate not just for financial freedom but to build a legacy for my family while contributing positively to communities.

Hey Trevor, welcome to the real estate world!

I frequently hear that someone purchased a new property because their real estate agent told them they could get X amount for rent, when in fact, the market comps don't support that amount.

@Chris LauerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Hi Everyone, I work for a investor focused Real Estate Team (Morrow Wargo Group) based around Allentown.

You can contribute by finding deals or managing properties in exchange for a share of the profits.Lease Options: Control properties without owning them by renting with an option to buy, and potentially sublease for profit.Owner Financing: Buy properties directly from sellers willing to finance, bypassing traditional lenders and often requiring less upfront money.REIGs: Join real estate investment groups to pool funds with others for property investments.For a more hands-off approach, investing in turnkey properties in growing markets with minimal upfront investment would be ideal (like in the Southeast and Midwest of the country).

Any form of real estate, real estate syndications, or private lending is fine.

Hi there, I'm David Kanarfogel, an attorney based on Long Island with extensive experience across commercial real estate and CRE finance.

The first images of his website did not focus on real estate investments, but materialism. 

I believe that mindset and preparation are critical when starting a real estate portfolio, as they set the foundation for sustained success.
