Analyze deals, build your network, and educate yourself constantly.If you have access to unique resources (like a VA loan, FHA Loan, or 401K), use them to your advantage!

I am looking to build up a network here on BP.

What's some ideas or things I can look into to build my investor list. 

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

Since you’re already diving into BiggerPockets, focus on clarifying your investment goals (house hacking, multifamily, or BRRRR), building your network with experienced investors and lenders, and most importantly, taking action by analyzing real deals.

First step would be to work with a good investor agent, second step would be getting preapproved so you know what's within your budget for your debt-to-income ratio, and third step is working with your agent to build out the rest of your time and finding a great investment deal!

One key piece of advice is to make sure to build strong team around you.

You're in a strong rental market, and house hacking a small multifamily in Phoenix is a smart way to build wealth.

Being a part of the featured agent program has helped generate leads and build relationships from those leads. 

I’d recommend starting with rental arbitrage to get your feet wet and generate some positive cash flow.While I haven’t personally done rental arbitrage, some of my employees have, and they found it to be profitable.However, as a long-term strategy, you’re essentially building your castle on someone else’s land.
