I can relate to where you’re coming from as I’m also new to real estate investing and actively working to build my knowledge and network.

My next big gap in knowledge is finding homes

As a licensed Real Estate Broker in Maine, I managed the acquisition and renovation of 1272 Lakins Rd, Etna, leveraging my expertise and industry knowledge.

I have a large network plus in depth knowledge of the process to get a project like this off the ground. 

Quote from @Henry Jay: Hello, me to real estate and look for knowledge in flipping and rental properties. 

I already have the knowledge, experience, and systems in place to do about 20 properties this year.

Also, for those whose BUSINESS (as opposed to just investment) is STR, they can scale successfully while their experience and knowledge of the industry may allow them the opportunity to uncover and recognize those few opportunities that will provide a much higher than market risk adjusted ROI. 

Will look into seller concessions and gift funds to get better knowledge. 

I am still rather new in the investing world, but I know with enough base knowledge and liquid capital of course, I'd be willing to pursue it for sure. 

From experience, finding a knowledgeable accountant is key for handling taxes effectively, especially when splitting expenses, claiming deductions, and managing depreciation.
