(Posted this on my FB and got a lot of traction so figured this awesome community may like the deep dive elements of my recent BRRRR deal.) 

In the near future, I'll be searching for a mentor to show me the ropes while I put in some sweat equity to gain traction and confidence to land my own deal.

@Mike B. and @Carson T.The surrounding suburbs are certainly gaining traction.  

Usually there is a minimum amount (time and money) if there is no fight and another amount if they fight it but only halfheartedly and then the sky is the limit if there is some issue giving them some traction.5) Personally, I would start with meeting and assessing the tenant and their situation.

My significant other and I have decided to both obtain out real estate license so we can learn as much about real estate & the market and also quit our w-2’s to work in real estate full time (once we pick up some traction being realtors) we want to form a team together and jump into investing fairly soon. 

It is really difficult to deal with such a partnership because they often have a heightened sense of property value, think they are smarter than the broker, and create unnecessary obstacles to best price sales.I might think about looking into the economics around buying buildings with medical/dental practices once you gain some traction in the field.

My friend was saying that he wanted to buy something less expensive so it's more 'affordable' per month but then said it may take some time to gain some traction on it (which I presume to mean cashflow). 

Let us know if you gain traction with it!

Again, it has been slow but I know that as I gain traction and grow my team, things will move faster.

And finally, perhaps the more difficult question:How do you assess the value of a property in a rapidly appreciating area - an area that has been building momentum for over a decade, but has finally gained traction.
