@Dean GulloTo build connections in Southington and surrounding areas, join local real estate meetups, connect through BiggerPockets forums, get involved with local landlord associations, reach out to real estate professionals, attend town or community events, and expand your team.

My team of three young kids that like to earn money for simple yardwork and my supportive wife are just the start of my team. :)  I am hoping to network with all relevant professionals in the field...especially like minded investors in my local area.

Both of these challenges can often be minimized with the right team and guidance from an experienced investor.As @Jay Hinrichs mentioned, appreciation is the main driver of wealth in real estate.

It's like you're building a money-making machine with PadSplit, but the fine print in the financing realm can throw in a curveball.Have you run into any specific challenges or surprises when it comes to financing after making these renovations?

My team is currently completing about 15 millions on redevelopment projects this years. 

The platform will offer features such as estimated ROI and cash flow on properties displayed on a map, similar to Zillow, but specifically tailored for investors looking for their next deal.My initial thoughts on the MVP are to focus on the core features listed above for investment properties, but I’d love your feedback to ensure the platform truly solves the challenges investors face.

Building a strong local team is crucial too.

My team and I manage 100+ investment properties, mostly Airbnb / STR, and we work with investors to complete 1031 exchanges, scale their portfolios, and invest in creative rental models.I started young with no help, the learning curve is steep and yes some people won't take you seriously, but if you assert yourself and really learn the content, you will earn respect.I'd love to learn more about your career ambitions.

Not only would you benefit from having a partner's input on the deal, but you would also have an experienced individual to work alongside with as you navigate the project.It's also important to make sure you have identified your "team" ie; contractors / realtors / lenders / insurance agents / title company / etc. 

Specifically, I'm curious about the cost and process involved.I'm considering upgrading to a 400-amp service, which I believe could be divided into two 125-amp panels, one 100-amp panel, and one 50-amp panel or some other combination.
