I recently paid $50K for access to a “tribe” where I, as a complete newb with no relevant industry experience at all, was taught to stand up a webpage touting the benefits of multifamily and then come and start posting here.I was taught to attempt to attract money from people like you who have recently come into a large pile of wealth and have no plan whatsoever.What I will do is take your money, and give it to this random other person in my $50K mentorship program who also has basically no experience raising and deploying capital.When I give them $100K I have raised from you, I will be given a 10% finders fee of $10K.

What I Need from the BP Community:1.I understand the importance of surrounding myself with successful individuals in the real estate industry.

It's a matter of survival of the fittest in the industry, with good agents staying and others seeking alternative employment.

From being in the industry for a long time I have the contact's and the knowledge to help anyone get from start to finish on their investment here in San Diego.

Should I prioritize market research or focus on building a network of industry contacts?

Real estate is a relationship oriented industry and fair or not, wholesalers are often viewed as the industry paraya's.

And yet there are large differences in prices among companies for essentially the same coverage, industry experts say.
