But, don't feel like you have to live up to 5-10 properties in 2025.

I currently reside here and have been interested in structuring a partnership in order to structure my first deal, if interested, feel free to reach out.

Feel free to reply here or shoot me a message if you’ll be there.

I know you see a LOT of posts @Jay Hinrichs, so give it a few days and I'm sure just like the Justin Nyugen guy we got, more people will feel comfortable coming out of the woodwork bringing up some cases related to these name which will help law enforcement. 

Feel free to PM me. 

Ideally, I'd like to close on a property before the end of this year, but I feel stuck.

Have a conversation and see how they feel about seller financing.  

There's a high chance that you are feeling FOMO from the returns in public markets, sell your houses for a loss, pile into stocks, and then see mediocre performance while real estate heads back higher again.I see this, and similar actions, play out over and over.Personally, I'd stick with the real estate rather than selling it.

I think there's potentially a different feeling when you convert a personal residence to such an investment property versus purposefully buying an investment property. 

I work with a mortgage broker with connections to a variety of lenders so if you want me to look into any options for you, feel free to PM.
