Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

I am an experienced investor having done properties with partners and alone.

As wholesalers, we’re trained to look for distress—motivated sellers in tough situations, properties needing major repairs, or financial struggles forcing a quick sale.

Raise the $600K, do the pre-development work, then “sell” the property to NewCo.  

After about 10 years I have accumulated a fair amount of small multifamily properties. 

With ample time on my hands, I’m offering my assistance to experienced investors—whether it’s managing properties, finding deals, or lending my skills as an insured notary and signing agent.

With less capital, you can purchase properties or larger stakes in projects, allowing a more diversified investment strategy.3.

If you are getting feedback from this group of posters, many of which are legendary by BP standards and known for their knowledge and willingness to share it. 

Every inch of this property has been meticulously updated by professional investors featured on TV, ensuring top-notch quality and style.

When I found the property I simply extended the radius of my search and tadaaaa "duplex" cought my attention and especially for a $350k purchase.
