I'm a local youth pastor in MN and I'm looking into getting started in real estate so that I can provide extra income for my growing family.

Build a strong team, prioritize cash flow, and take the time to understand the local market and regulations, especially for development projects.

I really like the idea of leveraging local contacts for walkthroughs and feedback.

Hi, my name is Andres, and I am 18 years old and live in Miami.

Our current focus is for a family lakehouse / lifestyle play here in TN but would like to work my way into commercial properties, short-term rental facilities, business acquisitions to name a few.

If you all pm me project name, year invested, promised exit and current status.

One needs to have outstanding local market knowledge to underwrite effectively. 

Researching local job markets, schools, and even infrastructure projects can provide insight into potential appreciation and cash flow.You might want to explore markets in the Midwest or South, which often have lower entry points and better cash flow potential compared to California.

All investments and assets are in the name of the special purpose LLC instead of "name of custodian FBO Jim Bob's IRA".5.

Some ways to find that person is local Real Estate Investor Facebook groups, local Real Estate Investor Associations, Realtors who list multiple properties for other investors, Bigger Pockets website's forum, and local property managers.You will also want to try to get on the buyer's list for local real estate wholesalers.To Your Success!
