The key is to find a team and please please find a PM to work with first and let that PM help with the rest of the team.

Right now, I'm working with a team that helps find off market properties for investors which has been a great way to dive in and connect with experience professionals in the industry.

I'm reaching out to BP to get good in depth answers about how powerful the loan truly is as I have tried to find podcasts/books and can't find any good ones.

Need to find properties?

I’m looking for actionable steps with hard numbers to find that deal, make that first decision. 

It's definitely a tough situation when you find out critical information like being in a flood zone right before closing.

Find a market or strategy, sounds like youre starting with land.

One option is to find a co-signer with W-2 income to help qualify, or you could explore DSCR loans, which focus on the property’s income rather than your personal income.

Consider connecting with local REI meetups, hospitality groups, or even online forums like this one to find like-minded investors.You could also pitch your successful track record to potential equity partners.

I’m sorry that you’ve had a hard time finding a place to rent.
