But I was looking to connect to other investors into the area to help me learn and get a hang of everything. 

I think this really comes down to many investors not even knowing this is important until they learn the hard way.

Now, you can get some wholesalers but they usually don't know if the property will fit the requirements and regulations but you can learn that from the Realtor.

@Brett RiemensniderYou don't need to provide anything to your tenants tax-wise.

I've been away from BP for a little while, but now I’m back and excited to dive in and learn as much as I can.

If it wasn’t the insurance it would have been the property taxes.

I'm eager to learn about how to find and fund properties that help my family financially and my community with affordable/reasonable dwellings for young families and newlyweds.

It isn't easy, but you'll learn a lot about underwriting from the process and know the ins and outs of the entire model, which makes using it, troubleshooting it, and adding to it much easier.
