I agree with the above statements; I would join any local Facebook groups and connect with them on their experiences. 

Don't hesitate to reach out and we can connect! 

If you're in need of a Property Management or Maintenance Team, feel free to reach out and connect with me.

I’m passionate about real estate and am working towards building my investment portfolio, with a goal of acquiring five rental properties over the next five years.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced investors, and share knowledge along the way.

Happy to connect and answer any questions you have!

Feel free to connect if you have any specific questions about, but this is the best general advise.
