Find someone at your local REIA who you click with and see about partnering with them, following them through a project, or offer to trade your labor/skills for them mentoring you. 

I am an investor friendly General Contractor in the Bryan / College Station, Texas area and would love to connect with investors for their next remodel / rehab project.

Throw in a dose of imposter syndrome and fatalism and you have a recipe for some mood swings right before a property is booked again.From a practical point, I would recommend great photos, a clearly defined target to whom you are advertising and understanding the best pricing of an area really well to ake sure you get booked in a timely fashion.From a more meta perspective, be aware that these listings don't typically get booked well in advance (families displaced by flood or fire, traveling nurses who need a new contract ASAP, and construction projects that realize they need a speciality engineer on-site RIGHT NOW don't book ahead).

I would recommend look at property taxes and insurance costs and factor those into your projected monthly payments.

Would you find value in a dedicated software tool that centralizes and automates due diligence tasks, track task progress with due dates, and add team collaboration features so you can see who’s doing what at a glance—all your projects, due dates, and task statuses in one place.  

I like Columbus because of the city's massive growth, but other markets like Cleveland will be a little more cash-flow heavy. 

I would imagine an unmetered 300 unit building from the 60s would save MASSIVE amounts of money by installing meters.

Low entry, limited inventory on market, a quick 2-3 month project How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?
