@Jay Hinrichs; a guy who is still actively doing things but never mentions trying to sell or push anything and has been very giving of his own time (including being a guest at a mastermind group I was part of).

I was connected with a masterminds group and this is where I really gained my confidence to make an investment.

I am curious if anyone has tried the mastermind group of ICOR in Colorado?

I highly recommend joining their mastermind too and doing the ongoing education.

This is true with how you structure your deal: pref, carry, fees and waterfall, projected return thresholds, hold periods, etc.Reputable sources: there are many mastermind groups out there.  

Forget taxes and LLCs, what do you think you can get done with 100k in this market in El Paso and what's the scale on it.I would spend more time masterminding together and lifting each other up and learning without partnering.

In the meantime, get yourself in a mastermind group/community bc your network is your networth.

We're part of a STR mastermind, and I can tell you more often than not STR operators have at least one arbitrage property, so it's pretty common!

Use it to see how much cash flow a property could generate.Market Research Mastermind: Become an expert on the area's rental rates, vacancy rates, and appreciation trends.Renovation Reality Check: Don't underestimate the cost of fixing up a property.Price is Eye-Catching, Value is KeySure, a low price tag might grab your attention, but remember, true success comes from finding properties with exceptional value.

The training is WAY better than "subto" (I have a mastermind login).
