I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

You should have that as a benchmark in mind, since it offers a good return without any effort.

Whether it’s sharing ideas, insights, or exploring opportunities, I’m all about building relationships with like-minded investors.Looking forward to contributing and learning from this incredible community.Best,James That’s impressive what you’re doing.

hey @Keith Mintz A couple investors on the forum that come to mind (among many others) are Noah Laker and Michael King.

Fast forward 2 years his landlord mentioned in passing he might sell the property; I was the first person on his mind.

If you're more of a 'personal referral' person than a 'do research online' person, and this is local to you in Manhattan, KS, hit up one or two of the trades people in the "little apple all stars" BNI group.

I'm so glad you brought up trash, totally slipped my mind in my eval.

Agree it is difficult to assess costs when they vary so much by location.Keep in mind that some turnovers are sickenly expensive, and that is just the nature of the business. 

Hello, my name is Marshal, and I’m excited to connect with this community of like-minded individuals passionate about real estate.

Keep in mind taxes go up as do rents.
