I believe sometimes a bad experience is more reflective of the individual than the company. 

My wife and I have one rental unit and are trying to move toward our next property, but still are trying to learn more and find additional ways to make some side income to speed the process.

Leverage equity, explore house hacking, and continue learning through books, podcasts, and local networking to refine your strategy.

Really looking to hone in and learn how to do this better. 

Hi everyone I’ m interested learning real estate investing and grow my portfolio. 

I'm still relatively new to this, and I’m looking to learn from those with more experience.

Any good resources for learning about hard money loans?

Dennis' dad and I actually tripped over something similar back in Chandler.. we learned to tap into city planning websites and even call the permit offices directly to get a real sense of their backlogs.

I don't want to bite off more than we can chew with managing a full reno while we learn the ropes. 

I would just make sure you're saving for reserves and expect that first year to be really about learning the house.
