@Britney RossI’ve been in the RE business for over four decades now.Most of that time spent in the single family brokerage and investing world.Several years ago, I made the decision to transition from SFR to multifamily.Despite decades in the industry I felt the need to educate myself about MF.I paid for an intense 2 week education program and then a 3 month mentorship.Trust me, it was worth it.During the mentorship, I acquired a 43 unit property with the help of my mentor.Fast forward 4 years later, I am in a General Partner in 1000 units worth $130M.So for me, it was money well spent.You didn’t mention where type of investing you wanted to do.If it’s MF, you are going to need partners and help.
