Sent you a message, regardless would love to connect with like minded individuals in Northwest Arkansas like yourself!

I’m especially interested in residential rentals, STR's, or multifamily properties, but I’m open to exploring other areas as well.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, gain insights from experienced investors, and contribute however I can to this community.

It doesn't seem this "accelerator program" is offering anything of true value and quite frankly I am surprised someone such as yourself who has 10 years of experience and owns 50 properties would fall for a gimmick.I've had friends and family swindled by the gurus and seminars out there (I've been duped myself before) so I can understand the cynicism, but not every community is just a gimmick.

And if you go under contract as an individual, can you then JV with another investor or is it too late?

I renovated the home while 3 of my friends lived with me and paid my mortgage.

Purchase price: $98,500 Cash invested: $15,000 owner financed on duplex, bought from a friend of the family. hopefully many more to comeHey @Jeffrey Eschbach, welcome to the BP Forum!

I reached out to the individual marketing the deal to schedule a property viewing, but they’re asking for proof of funds (which I expected) and a signed purchase agreement or LOI.Is this normal?

Personally, I airbnb half of my house, individual rooms, and stay nearly 100% booked.

@Nicholas A. your shotgun approach has a high probability of getting the exact quality you put into it.95%+ of real estate agent, many of them posting they are "investor-friendly", only know how to deal with owner-occupied transactions. 

I looks like you are in Cali which is a notoriously tenant friendly state.
