Work in several towns and once and be prepared to make several options with one week time limits on them. 

Some investors will wait until they have several properties before forming an LLC but it's often beneficial to set one up early especially with your first property.

Looked at them several years ago.  

They then missed out on several more years of growth because they got out of the game and waited on the sidelines for things to look better. 2010 to 2012 was the period that cash investors were the players or those with IRA keep in mind investor loans were still basically non existent in those years for all those expect very well to do Investors beginners were not getting investor loans. 

Several years prior to Covid I got my finances in order to start investing.

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

I would like to build several (2 - 6) "shipping container" type homes for either short, mid or long term rental.

I help several local investors and we do have a meet up.

There is also podcastguests.com as well as several facebook groups where you can find people to get on other podcasts. 

Looked on zillow for several weeks.
