I actually have a webinar i put on a couple of years ago walking through all the pitfalls and mistakes I made doing 482 BRRRs between 2009-2018 in Chicago. 

A great way to start is by attending RE events and joining a local investors association.

Hi everyone,A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a seemingly vacant and distressed property near my current residence.

I completed an internship in commercial real estate, and I also attended a couple of local REIA meetings/networking events before moving to Northern VA.I was able to narrow down potential strategies, and I figured both BRRR as well as wholesaling don't seem to be the best strategies for me.

Long story short, as others have advised, attend local REI meet-ups to connect with your team, vet them, and begin your process.

What's your schedule look like in the next couple days?

Hi BiggerPockets community,We are a married couple based in the California Bay Area, both working as software engineers with a combined income of close to a Million USD.

I haven't had opportunity to attend yet. 

Attend in person networking events in your area (there are many in and around Vancouver). 

I'm looking for advice on whether I should purchase my father-in-law's 6 unit apartment in Burien, WA (10 minutes south of Seattle) as my first deal, or perhaps help find him a seller that would pay more than I could and is a couple years ahead of me in REI.
