I'd say practice patience.

For beginners, I’d love to hear about the hurdles you’re currently facing and any advice from seasoned investors on how to avoid those common pitfalls.Looking forward to your stories and tips!

I’d recommend connecting with local property managers and agents as soon as possible—agents can help you identify deals that fit your BRRRR criteria, and property managers can give insight into rental demand and market rents.

I’d love to connect.

So I'd love for my market to cool off a bit!

I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with experience in this area, particularly if you know of any process to decontrol rent-controlled units when they become vacant.Also, I’m seeking recommendations for an attorney with expertise in rent control, tenant law, or real estate in NYC.

In my perfect world I’d house hack a brick quad in Cleveland Heights or Lakewood area. 

It looks like it is mainly for networking, although it's virtual so maybe networking won't be that great. 

Quote from @V.G Jason: I'd partner with a lawyer that can help put some contractual language on the downside of working with contractors and real estate agents.I'd also partner with a RE brokerage firm that clearly understands your goals. 

I am particularly interested in learning about finding good deals, budgeting for renovations, and avoiding common pitfalls. if anyone has any advice, recommended resources, or personal experiences to share, I'd really appreciate it!
