@Franklin PerezGetting your real estate license can be a smart move if you want MLS access, networking opportunities, and savings on commissions, but it comes with costs and disclosure requirements.

I was also impressed by their vast network and access to off market properties.

Some mentorships include online training, weekly meetings, networking opportunities, tools, and access to speak with other investors/mentees.10.

I'm looking to connect and network with other investors, contractors etc who have experience in this market. 

Novices can prosper in distressed properties given a strong support network of brokers, contractors, and financial advisors.

I would also add that you join your local REIA chapter (Real Estate Investor Association) as it will allow you to network with other STR owners and get more location-specific information. 

We also look forward to networking because that is the fastest way companies grow.

Unlike banks, which offer limited loan options, brokers have access to a wide network of lenders, including niche and non-traditional financing sources.Here’s what they do:Assess your financial situation to determine your borrowing power.Compare multiple loan products to find the most favorable terms.Negotiate rates and terms with lenders on your behalf.Guide you through the application process, ensuring you meet all requirements.Example: Suppose you have a lower credit score or unconventional income sources.

I'd love to start my networking and also understand the tax complications of buying property while abroad.also FYI - my husband and I are looking to move to the USA at one point but most likely in 2026.

BP is a great place to network and find all the information that you will need for almost any question.
