The real wealthy people are quiet, unassuming, running their business and not their mouths.Keep networking, educating, and growing.

I'd love to Network. 

If you want private investors, start by asking friends, family, or colleagues in your network who may wish to a passive income opportunity. 

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.

I’m also an active member of the local landlord association in Joliet (JRLA), which has been a great resource for networking and education.

Grant Cardone (fraud) Brad sumrok is like lifestyles, I like Joe Fairless his website syndicationschool.com is free and well done enough then you can guide yourself and go network without paying 30-50k to join a BS program

I may start with house hacking to build confidence, take advantage of owners financing (this will be my first home), and to build my network first. 

build a network. 

My suggestion to any one that are first time real estate investor in fix & flip, or planning to hold property for rentals, is to learn or read, understand about real estate financing first, build your assets and network or partner withsome has completed some projects in fix & flip and has some rental properties with positive cash flow within your immediate area before dving in to any project by youyrself.

I've realized that embracing all types of Investors and expanding my Network in every way aligns with my Goals and benefits the Investing Community as a whole.
