But as someone who’s been in the trenches of real estate investing for almost 30 years, I continue to see some flaws.Some of the flaws I have witnessed are when tech-driven companies seem to lack backing from experienced underwriters or seasoned real estate professionals.

Purchase price: $77,000 Sale price: $85,000 Contributors: Peter Vekselman Partner Driven teamed up with Jamari Sprueil to secure this off-market deal in Decatur for $77,000.

Separately, if I experienced flooding in the past and did major plumbing renovation work to resolve the issue, do I still need to disclose these resolved issues? 

I'm really hoping to make some connections and work with and learn from more experienced investors in the community.

I personally use Hostfully and their support team is great!

I highly suggest you use our marketplaces to find trusted, investor-friendly team members: Tax Pro finder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/tax-and-financ...Lender finder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/lendersProperty manager finder (if you go that route and don't self manage): https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/property-manag...

Even in your area, you may meet other out of state investors so you have more context for when you talk to the people who will make up your team there.

If you are looking to buy, renovate, and flip/or refi it is imperative that you have a team that is efficient so you can get it done before the loan matures/balloons.

It will be easier once you have a good team in place and know the ropes
