My primary is a 2-family also and I use turbo tax for that and my other rentals. 

One who is active still and recently did a case study write up like this is Don Konipol, the other pops on every now and again and did a BP episode many years ago Aaron Mazzrillo so search those two names and read some threads.A more likely scenario is not what you mentioned as the ever growing note/value deal, at least not as outlined.

While podcasts, books, seminars, and websites offer general knowledge, you'll buy a specific property in a specific location, subject to local rules and regulations.

Can't think of many better things other than my entire team achieving success time after time!

Go to local meetups, search these forums for people that have mentioned that they do private lending and attend other RE events.

I checked this out and it looks overpriced without having any other info.

We have a member round table discussion on Fridays at 9 am cst.And we have a calendar of events with events from area landlord groups and member meetups.While we are still on zoom we do try to find ways to still be able to connect and talk with each other so our events are not all just another webinar with people talking at you.Hope to connect.

Connecting with experienced investors is a great move as it allows you to learn from others' experiences and opens doors to partnerships, resources, and insights you might not have considered.

Glad to help you connect with others in the area as well

In Ca many loans are done through fractionalization method which is not that common in other states and illegal in some.
