Find a good lender, get pre approved, make sure you practice running the #'s using the 100's of videos and guides from BP, find an investor friendly Realtor, and then start making offers on any property that meets your goal.

These are great for experienced flippers who can handle the tight timelines and costs.Private investing usually involves individuals funding your deal, like friends, family, or networking connections.

Very few, and I mean under 1% of agents are truly investor friendly.

I find their platform very user friendly and for those that have no clue about how to pick stocks, funds, ETF's, etc., Wealthfront is a great robo advisor.

We've worked with local banks and been able to finance the three we own without any issues.I don't necessarily know if it's "beginner" investor friendly but you'll learn everything you need in the bootcamp which is the gold standardWe get loans with 3-7 year balloons and 25 year amortization typically

Cash buyers & investors are also skiddish due to the increase in crime as well as DC’s crackdown on AirBNB’s and tenant/friendly TOPA policies.

✅ Demonstrate that you are a good person to work with.Be responsive, transparent, and friendly.

It's a smaller, family-friendly community that draws a ton of repeat vacationers (families will book the same place year after year). 

I would also check median home prices vs. rent potential, landlord-friendly laws, and supply vs. demand trends.
