Find your local REIA and start attending and find the Realtors there to build friendships with. 

•Deal evaluation: Simple, actionable advice or tools to help me confidently analyze and structure deals.I’m also looking to network with wholesale-minded agents, understand local buyers’ preferences (buy boxes), and explore mentorship or partnership opportunities that can help me gain momentum.I’m eager to learn, take action, and build something impactful for my family.

Fair enough, I have partial ownership of a commercial (apartment) building in the Bay Area and I would estimate it as a Class A- to maybe Class B - great location, great tenants, nice amenities (not high end like gym, new pool, community room with big screen TVs, etc), high rents, but building is older (built in 1950s).One investor I saw post that they look at where Starbucks and Costcos are opening and possibly factor that into looking at different markets.

I have my personal emergency fund stored away in a HYSA, and am working to build up a15k property reserve as well, but am conflicted on where to keep that 15k. 

My wife and I are in Stillwater and have house hacked for a number of years as well as flipped and own mixed use buildings in Western Wi.

There was a news reporter at the sale and they interviewed the high bidder, who admitted that they had not seen the property, but were certain that they would be building their family home there. 

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!

As for property management software, options like Hostaway or Lodgify can streamline bookings and communication.

You will need to look at CA building code.

It’s a solid way to build wealth over time.Good luck!
