BP forums is an amazing source to get guidance from where to start.

@Abigail IrvineI recommend you get another source of income and keep saving.

We have some great options for foreign nationals.

So I understand to scale a training business many times you have to outsource ( don't know if this company is doing that) But out source your lead gen funnel.. pretty tough for the actual owners to respond to all the hits they are going to get if they are out on the web with mass advertising.. 

Sources of vendors and professionals 6.

PMC RECOMMENDATIONRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Exploring alternative funding sources for real estate investments.3.

The key to finding good deals is to remain open to alternative investment strategies and consider all potential deal sources.

I work with New Western, and we specialize in sourcing off market properties that are great for flips, brrrr, and rentals.

@Weston Young If you need a fire escape please make sure you can find a trusted source to build this.
