Also since you focused on my credibility… I think it is a bit funny someone who joined the real estate world not too long ago and only been in the entrepreneur world 3 years questions my credibility.

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

I'd love to join a meet-up sometime. 

I’m now venturing into new opportunities to expand my expertise and grow my portfolio.I joined BiggerPockets to connect with like-minded individuals, share insights, and learn from the incredible wealth of knowledge this community offers.

I am looking at his The Capital Syndicate (bird dogging for his private money) and would really like to know if it works.I suspect that after you purchase the $97.00, they will pound you to join their "Mentoring Program", but it does sound interesting.

@Nathan BrooksIn my experience, connecting with like-minded investors in Richmond can be done by joining local groups like the Richmond Real Estate Investors Group (REIG) and checking out BiggerPockets Local Forums.

I'm sure you know this is actually a great thing having Sumitomo join us. 

I joined the group and purchased the book earlier today.

Looking to join LIRIEA early next year but any NY investor meet ups you know of and recommend especially out on Long Island keep me posted.
