Most investors start with 1 unit a year or so. 

I think market auctions are better for newer investors because you're able to see the inside of the property and the property will be delivered vacant.If you win you will have to provide a deposit that is held in escrow until the transaction closes.

Hello,I am a real estate investor located to Southeast MA, I own and manage a small portfolio of 23 units and am looking to expand and scale out of state as the returns and market have been quite difficult in my area: due to CAP Rates, specific building class I am looking to invest in, and rising interest rates/minimal inventory, as well as it would be nicer to be diversified and in a more landlord friendly state.  

I am looking to connect with local investors and will be looking to make my first investment soon as well.

First red flag is if they say that they will shop your deal with a few different investors.  

These days all investors need to have more realistic expectations.

Go to some networking events in the area and meet other investors.
