You've shared so many gems and described a realistic depiction of purchasing an investment property. 

Investors think in numbers, exit strategies, and long-term plays, while homebuyers think in emotion and monthly payments.What are some of the biggest differences you’ve noticed when working with or transitioning into real estate investing?

I have never paid a guru or anyone else to invest my money for me.

SUBSTANTIALLY.I highly recommend tapping into your equity and accumulating some more assets at these prices, you will thank yourself in 3 years.The best and most cost effective way to do so is a simple cash out refinance, I don't think you should touch your primary, but leverage your investments for sure.

Have a small investment: about $75k, available to leverage--- not sure where to start but most likely need to go into partnership with someone somehow-for many reasons.

My name is Ben and I am about a month into diving deep on real estate investing education.

I invest mostly in the southeast and upper midwest.

You investing in that fund?
