Quote from @John McCarthy: I discuss this in my book.

Got to know about this group through "The Book on Rental Property Investing".

(I don't believe in the 9-5 rat race) I have good contracts, a solid book of contacts for dispo, a decent understanding of the industry, I'm just really struggling with finding leads.

In 2020 I bought my first house 3 bedroom 1 bathroom and a 2 car detached garage for $175,000 and put a 10k downpayment on it and interest rate was 3.5%, in 2023 I decided to rent it out for $1350 mortage was $1106.62, in 2024 we raised the rent to $1450 and our mortage currently is $1144.76- I never put into account repair expenses, Capex, vacency until I read on rental investment properies book.

Am I wrong for wanting to see when my places get booked and how much they got booked for ahead of time?

Names Christian, I’ve, been doing real estate investing for bout a year now, worked on my first property which wasn’t the best ideal situation, but it was an amazing learning experienced that I wouldn’t trade, made a lot of mistakes that after all the classes and events i have attended i am learning where i went wrong, and really in need of a coach to help guide me in the right direction, i do have a game plan in place and the goal i want to reach  just need to be helped its a path.

If you've been reading books and listening to podcasts, adding in-person real estate investor meetups is usually the special sauce to break the paralysis.

I doubt you would be able to get your money back at this point but im not sure how much value you will get from them vs spending that “class” or meeting time reading a real estate book or connecting with local investors. 

But on the other hand, you can also convert into a Roth and enjoy tax-free rental income for the rest of your life.Great book: Leverage your IRA by Mathew Allen.

In my opinion, that is one of the safest and cheapest ways to break into your market locally, without some "guru" selling you on their Real Estate Investing guide or whatever.
