The Latest OTM episode calls out some markets that I've been hearing about for a while, ie Dallas, but one specifically that caught my ear....
@Shyd Coloma the word might be out on Oxnard!  I do generally agree with ...

BiggerPockets has a decent system for finding a real estate broker in any given area.

I'm a part-time CFO (Chief Financial Officer) for real estate developers across the country, most of whom are trying to give back to their communities through their real estate development skills.I'm also a former Director of Lending for a CDFI that lent money to local developers rebuilding LMI and under invested communities. 

A very high tech one.Here's how it works:1) Call 720-902-85522) A real estate investor will pick up, or text you immediately, notifying you that they will call back if they are on the line.3) On the phone, tell us your goals, and we will connect with the resources or network you need to solve that problem.That's it.

How do we stay in the real estate game while minimizing our risks? 

With that, I want to ensure that my approach to real estate is starting with the niche that generates faster returns from the beginning) as a rough example:I can buy Focal Utopia headphones for 8K or I can buy headphones from kmart for $25.

Any advice or recommendations for funding, mentoring, partners, real estate brokers or attorneys would be most appreciated. 

@Zoe BrennanStarting to invest in real estate is a great idea. 

I only recently became licensed, so I would have a long way to go in order to comply with the 2-year experience requirement, but I have been an active investor for 5 years so I am wondering if I would fall within the 3 year exemption, below:- Have at least two years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least three years of experience in the general real estate field or a combination of both- Meet the minimum points required for the experience type (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer)Thanks in advance! 

I have lived and worked real estate in both Fayetteville and Phoenix currently in Mesa.They are both great but the strategy is a little different.
