I had some luck in real estate groups and by sharing success stories, but the pace was slower compared to paid ads or SEO methods.One thing I recently explored was incorporating tools like those for Social Media Posts using AI.

Hey @Christopher Morris,I piggyback on some of the others, but I'd connect with a referred lender ASAP to go over your options/budget/pre-approval.

After a couple of years of treading the path to frugality to build this financial runway, I've networked with the greatest people who made this all happen, of course, it took the strength, determination, time, etc to place myself where I am today but, without the mentorship of my two great mentors whom I wish used BiggerPockets so I can mention, I don't believe I would have made it thus far relying on some whimsical dream that this will all pan out accordingly, thank you for everything Greg and Lashawn.In addition, I would like to thank Bigger Pockets for connecting me with the greatest realtor @Stephen Schmitt Who took my dreams and aspirations to the core when we first connected and spoke about my future goals to replace my W2 job for financial freedom. within three months of me deciding to pull the trigger and get pre-approved, we found this killer cash-cow that apprised over purchase price!!! 

I am going to be the contrarian on this subject.. 1. the pre license course is valuable as it teach's the vocabulary of real estate and the basic laws of your state.. its dirt cheap and one of the better ways to build your foundation. 2.

The deal was a long time ago and it was a quick-close, pre-foreclosure, all cash deal. 

Do you have your finances in order now and a pre-approval so you know what price point you should be targeting?

This was a pre-existing structure so we went with the flow designing it. 

Incorporate what if you die, what if you or a partner want to sell how do you value, opening bank accounts, contract signing, etc.  

We've pre-leased ~225 beds out ~240 already for next year and 90% of our leads come from that.

No need for management LLC's, LLC's in WY, DE or any of the other states that are inaccurately deemed to be better for incorporation.
