Agree with @Jaron Walling - forget what a stranger on the internet that, in my case, lives several states away says and ask questions of the two guys that you know that have 165 combined units in your market. 

It's the first time I've ever felt so welcomed by strangers in a room.

I have searched online and found no company or market for this type of transaction.

Or they own neighboring properties and don’t want a stranger screwing up their area. 

I would also caution against any partnership with a stranger.

Promote your YouTube channel and educational content and use resources like books, podcasts, and online communities to build a personal brand in the real estate community.Good luck!

@Rob CucuglielloYou should not expect to sort out your multi-layered situation in an online forum.

Got it online from Home Depot for $3k but I’ve seen it as high as $5k. 

Now that’s not a teaching question, I can’t give it up, it already got saturate because things moved online, (sherif sales) Thankfully some are coming back in person.
