Feel free to reach out to me privately and I can send you the details!

Quote from @Patrick Drury: @Doronda PlacideJoin local real estate investor associations in your area and check Facebook for local meet-ups so you can network with investor-friendly agents or even wholesalers in your market that find dealsSome good ones are the Westbank Real Estate Investors Meetup that meet on the 2nd Thursday of the month (details here wbrealestateinvestors.com)North Shore REIA in CovingtonSt Bernard MeetupNOREIAI go to all of them and they are good. 

I've made a detailed list of what I'm looking for in our first property.

Whether from the investor or lender side, happy to go into more details if that would be helpful for you. 

To begin investing in real estate, learn first, set financial goals, analyze finances, study markets, make friends in the field, get a loan, start with small properties, check all details, plan how to manage them, and choose renters carefully.

Maybe we could have a call to discuss the details. 

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Happy to serve as a resource for any questions you may have about the area.Also, like @Karen Wanamarta mentioned, it’d be awesome for forum members looking to help if you could share a few details about the strategies or asset classes you’re looking into.

Is there any details I am missing her that would she some more color into the length of the situation?

I think it might help some seasoned landlords answer your question if you share details about your rental like bed/bath count and sq ft.
