Ive never really explored this investment route but it's great to hear about your journey in specifics and how you've been able to overcome a lot of those challenges. 

Make the most of the educational resources available on BiggerPockets, and consider joining local meetings and Facebook groups.

Then cut in w brush and roll the walls.It's up to you what to do but educate yourself on the setups of spray. 

Here's how I do my due diligence:1) Portfolio matching: (takes 30 seconds per deal)a) Have an educated opinion on where I think we are in the real estate cycles (financial and physical market cycles)b) Then and only then do I pick the strategies, capital stack, and specialized asset subclasses that make sense for that opinion.

You will also learn from others which operators they like or don't like, which asset classes are going well, diversification strategies, standard terms and more - and most of all you will have other like minded individuals to consult with who are on a similar journey.  

Huge respect for your journey—200+ houses and now into B2R, that’s awesome! 

I’d appreciate any advice on getting started, local meetups (I’m outside of Atlanta, zip 30152), or tips to navigate this journey.

You have come to the right place to begin your investing journey..

Good luck on your journey and reach out if you have any questions!

Any educated company would know that and they would know not to mess with security deposits.
