I'm new to the forums and looking to connect on single family long term rental deals as well as vacation rental deals. 

Glad to have you on the forum, Elwin! 

If not, you are going to get pitched and sold and DM'd before you even know what's going on.Bay Area investors invest all over the US, but you don't want to just pick a random market because someone in an internet forum told you to.

@Dennis Boettjer, I will echo's Brian's comment and add: also take a look at some of the threads in the Syndications review forum: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/960I do not mean this as a "here are people to invest in or avoid", as there are some groups going through current issues that, personally, I would qualify as fairly strong syndicators, overall.  

Welcome to the BP Forum!

So for those who may be following my journey via Forum Posts, I had a home inspection on the Remington rowhome and the roof was poorly redone and may be a deal killer.

Surely I'm not the first person to come up against this so I thought I would try and leverage this forum for advice.

Hi Shakera and welcome to the BP forums!

You might want to join groups or forums specifically for private lenders—BiggerPockets is obviously a great place, but local REI meetups or masterminds could also help.Also, consider sharing insights or case studies from deals you've done (if you're comfortable) to spark conversations.

I am a small time landlord with a few local SFH rentals, and would like to register a “free account” with them that I keep reading about in the forums.
