This deal and the one before it came about from networking, building a relationship with my property manager, an investor friendly realtor, and learning what makes a deal a deal.

I want to connect with more investors, wholesalers, real estate pros, anyone and everyone as I look to not only do my job better but grow my portfolio.Looking forward to networking and learning from this great community.

It seems like a simple thing, but reaching out in BiggerPockets about getting started as a real estate investor is a great first step.

Hi Raymond,I’ve been working with investors on Fix-and-Flip projects in Florida for over 20 years, and I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned.

@Albert Gallucci as many have pointed out, in the commercial space of 100+ apartment buildings and offices, property classes have some pretty decent industry standards.We started applying these to 1-4 unit properties around 10 years ago, which you can verify on our blogs, because we saw too many newbie investors not properly taking into account things like, neighborhood status, tenant pool, property condition, etc.Unfortunately, there's no industry standard for this, but you can use some basic logic to think your way through your own Classifications.
