I wanted to invest passively without any active role, with an experienced general partner who can manage the deal from sourcing, to management, to exit.

I know sometimes they get characterized and grouped together, but this would be very different with the schedule C and active nature of what I'm planning to do.

I learned about Bigger Pockets as a new agent but never really did much to engage with the BP community.

Talk to them about the house they have, but also offer to meet for coffee and let them know you are actively looking and ask how you can get on their list.Attend meetups and REIA meetings.  

I'm particularly passionate about investing in emerging markets across the country.Outside of real estate, I enjoy all outdoor activity, including golf, boating, sailing, fishing, skiing, hiking.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

@Taz Zettergren to be honest, I too like the Little Rock suburbs more than the B-ham area.I have been more active though in Bham because I really found a great team of agent/PM/Lender in that area and I feel confident in their ability to get me a good deal.Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find an agent/broker in the LR area that gives me that same vibe. 

In one of my own personal properties we chose not to have a hot tube and we removed almost all exterior light because of the activities we are steering towards!

As you start closing deals, you will need to reinvest your profits into mailing lists and other scalable activities to grow your business.

I aim to connect with fellow investors and agents to impart my insights and continue learning from the collective wisdom here.I am looking forward to engaging in conversations and gaining more knowledge.ThanksAhmed

Marketing for vacancies was one of the activities we both hated, so what we did was we paid one of the tenants at the property to schedule all of the showings and do all of the showings for us using tenant turner.
