I also hope to continue to grow my network and meet other like minded individuals and mentors to help advance my investing business.Cheers!

As the years have progressed, I've seen a healthy combo of appreciation & cashflow has continued to increase as market rents have gone up.To start off, I'd attend some local meet ups and network a bit, and start analyzing some deals.

Many gurus dangle their network, trainings and resources but few deliver real value.

My best advice is to work with someone who can easily plug you in with their network of GCs, PMs, and lenders.

Would love to add a mentor to guide us through the first deal, we can offer all of the sweat equity and our network that will help fundraise the deal! 

It's like having a personal mentor guiding you toward real estate greatness.Unlock the Secrets to Real Estate Success by diving into learning—read, attend networking events, join a coaching program, and more!

Networking with other investors and professionals is crucial for learning and finding opportunities.

I would rather just refer them to a friend in my network for free.Seller financing works well with someone who wants cash flow for a longer period of time than I am working in.

This is the most unique real estate investor club, education, networking and mastermind event in the US!

@Chantelle LewisRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
