I’m a relatively new real estate investor with one house-hacked rental under my belt.

The more deals you have under your belt, the easier it is to raise capital, attract partners, and negotiate better terms.2️⃣ Deals lead to more deals.

Once you’ve got a little experience under your belt then you can attempt buildings that need more renovations/repairs or have had management issues.

With one successful flip under my belt, I'm eager to connect with fellow investors and expand my knowledge and network in this vibrant real estate market.In addition to my passion for real estate, I’m also a skilled electrician.

I have my real estate license and am also an occupational therapist by trade- but truly I don't want to be in healthcare OR to help others to buy/sell- just want to get more properties under my own belt!

Most all of the cheap rust belt cities are going to have declining populations.

Once you’ve got some experience under your belt and have built a trusted team, that’s when you can start looking at value-add deals to really scale up your portfolio Thank you for the information.

I have followed the Bigger Pockets podcast for years, especially when I first got my real estate license and got my first deals under my belt in 2021.

@Ken Sanders Here in central PA you could use S&T Bank and Members First Federal Credit Union can offer both Lines of Credits based on equity you have on an investment property (80% LTV) as well as business lines of credit. 

Happy to find it again and hope to contribute, as I have some rental properties now and 15 years under my belt dealing with that.
