I will be able to turn profit within the first 3 month after the delivery and setup period which could be anywhere from 3/4months.

However, I'm finding it challenging to network with other investors in the area.

It costs a little bit of money and it takes a little bit of time, but you will learn a lot (especially if you sign on with the right broker) and then you don't have to worry about the possibility of conducting unlicensed activity.Ok but what about if you have a network where you can find deals all over the nation?.

Even thought it needs extensive repair due to damage from the tenant and since I live in the front unit, I don't think I can deal with a renter living free, getting uber eats delivery and working without paying rent.

By the way, I am building a big network on social media and I am finding deals every day for buyers but I only do syndication so I get a acquisition fee as a co-gp and also 5% to 10% on equity.

We have no control over whether Lane appears on other shows outside of our network. 

The REIA is an interesting one because they network together and are in most major metros. 

To go even further, real estate agents usually have a large network of trusted lenders they have worked with in the past, and can refer you a couple to start with.I know a couple great ones if you would be interested in speaking with them, and maybe we can get together based on how those conversations go.Look forward to hearing from you and have a great week.

**Networking and Resources:** Are there local groups, meetups, or forums you recommend for connecting with other investors in the Winston-Salem area?

NETWORK!!!
