Truly appreciate all the great advice from your experiences.

I want someone who is not only financially capable but also shares my long-term vision for the properties and has experience with seller financing deals.2.

I have personally been the guy who hasn't pulled permits and got caught...by far one of the worst experiences of my investing career.

I am not really sure what to do in this scenario. has anyone had any similar experience? 

@Ketch BaysStarting small in a cash-flowing market is a smart way to gain experience and build confidence without overextending yourself financially.

Hi everyone,I’m looking to dive into the real estate market here in the Des Moines/Metro area and would love to connect with experienced investors, agents, or professionals who are willing to share their insights.I’m particularly interested in learning about your experiences in this market—what’s worked for you, lessons learned, and any advice you’d have for someone getting started.

Becoming a real estate agent is a good idea to gain experience, but you could also explore property management, wholesaling, or working with an investor to build your network. 

I do have experience working in Mortgage Processing and more recently Commercial Underwriting, so if anyone has questions in those areas I would be happy to help any way I can!

I've been navigating the Section 8 space for a while, and I'd be happy to share some insights from my experience.
