These people are very honest and open about what this is and how to do it in the best way. 

@Alex Lee203k is an amazing tool as long as you don't overextend yourself financially. 

It turned out this was his first time appraising one.

It is really good that you are trying to find a focus.

There are a ton that solely focus on those specific markets. ( they do meet-ups, etc. )WOW, AI?

At R&H Capital, we’re always looking to connect with other investors, share insights, and collaborate on new opportunities.I’m excited to be here in the BiggerPockets community, where I hope to learn from fellow investors, share my experiences, and build meaningful relationships to grow our real estate ventures.

Be candid and do it in person.

I would ask yourself what is your end goal?

But don't kid yourself by thinking you saved any money here by representing yourself when you are overpaying compared to what most buyers are currently paying. 

The pitch is always the same: "You need our system or you’ll never make it in this business."
