Yes, the upstairs needed it, but tearing out the downstairs not only cost a lot that was not in my budget, but also greatly added to the cost of the rehab.I kept asking Chris when the Spokane house was going to be done; he told me he needed more money.

Find the REIA group for your areaAs Henry noted, post something specific for your area and tag your market.Get on Loopnet for your area and property type, reach out to the brokers that are listing deals and offer to take to coffee (they are often invested in deals too but you could ask for connections to other operators that might be getting started).And, again as Henry noted, each person you meet, ask them what other networking events they have attended that you can put on your list.

My name is Christian and I'm excited to be here as I start on my journey into real estate wholesaling, specifically in the Pittsburgh, PA area.

That being said, I will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection as it relates to real estate.

For commercial buildings, be very specific - price range, $/door max, unit count, unit mix, part of town.

Numbers are very specific to the market you are looking at.  

If you have specific questions about property management, I'll be happy to help!

If you are going to be doing the rehab work in exchange for equity then that value needs to be determined up front with a specific timeline that you have to adhere to in order to earn your equity.

Specifically, I’d love to hear about best practices for managing shared spaces, screening tenants, and setting up house rules.Additionally, I plan to split the utilities among the tenants—any advice on how to handle this efficiently would be greatly appreciated!

Would be very interested to hear from experienced investors on your thoughts for these two areas specifically.
