., rentals, flips, or house hacking] and eager to build a portfolio that leads to financial freedom.Currently, I’m learning, networking, and analyzing deals to take my first steps.Questions for You:What’s the best advice for a beginner?

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! 

However, the best deals are often off-market, so networking with local commercial brokers and wholesalers in Cleveland is key.For finding investor-friendly agents, check out BP forums, local real estate meetups, or even property management companies, they often know who’s selling.

How do I network with other investors if I don't live there - Facebook. 

@Devin Peterson Definitely always down to network.

Use your skills to network with local investors and professionals by attending meetups in the Conroe and Houston area, joining online forums, and connecting with property managers or realtors.

Networking with local investors through BiggerPockets, Facebook, and meetups can help you navigate the market, while avoiding common mistakes like underestimating expenses, poor tenant screening, and hiring the wrong property manager.Good luck!

They have larger offices with more agents to network and learn from, training meetings, etc.
