My mother purchased a property on 2011 for 480000 in California.

It may be more worthwhile to find someone who has reasonable fees for their service as my two cents.I hope this helps in some way! 

One of my goals this year was to take actionable steps into jump starting my real estate journey, so here I am, taking that first step.A little about me: I'm a San Antonio native that lived out of state for a couple of years but has migrated back home.

I recently purchased my 2nd co-living BRRRR in Jacksonville, FL.

My current situation is, in part, a result of playing it too safe and avoiding risk altogether.

The PMC I left to start my own PMC had at least 2 "preferred contractors" related to key players in the office so high rates and poor service fell on deaf ears. 

So I have my house that refinanced in 2020 for a 15yr 2.5% rate and we have about 56k equity.

Hi,I am an investor in single family homes and am interested to use my equity in them to start investing in multi unit shopping center retail.

@Edwin AlvarezI recommend finding local meetups to attend. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521I have found all of my best connections at local meetups.
