A bit about my situation and motivation for getting into real estate investing...I have a full-time, high paying W2 job as a specialist physician that I generally enjoy but would like to  be able to supplement my income over the next 8-10 years if/when payments decline in medicine.

Locate a Motivated Seller that will consider Seller Financing.

The "online leads" trend becomes a vast pool of scams, each one discovering a new and "better" way to find motivated sellers via SEO/Paid adds/Social Media etc, and automatically aims to make a profit from selling those so-called leads.

All I know is that, as CEO of this company, it was really hard watching influencers and 20-somethings race past me, buying dozens or hundreds of units from 2019-2022.

There are many ways to remove a tenant, but it requires knowing what motivates them.

Connecting with local GC groups in your area will help you connect with subcontractors, find out tips and tricks of the trade in your local area (since all areas and their real estate differ slightly).Also, have you considered the motivation behind building a brand-new duplex versus finding one on the market?

Instead, start by sharing why you’re interested and ask questions to understand the seller’s motivation like, ‘Why do you think it hasn’t sold yet?’

Without going into great detail, you are provided 50 motivated leads per month for 1/5th of the cost I have found from “retail” lead companies. 

Abandon the Peurto Rico dream for now and look at more realistic/beginner friendly areas that still sport a large latin influence and strong rentals, like Florida (I've looked a little bit outside Miami..Boca Raton, Tampa, West Palm Beach, etc). 

Quote from @Travis Timmons: My take is that if a fund has an influencer's name attached to it, they're core competency is promotion and fund raising rather than being a good operator.
