I would suggest starting with what types of investments you would like to get into and goals.

I highly suggest getting your feet wet in your local market if possible if you plan to rehab or manage the property yourself.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Additionally, I would suggest you run some financial calculations such as cash on cash return as well as any appreciation from the asset if/when you sell.

Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

Would love to review your numbers and share some ideas before you close a deal!

That additional review layer definitely can add value in oversight and deal selection.

Plenty of roofstock reviews on BP.

I highly suggest as many in-person networking events as possible! 

I suggest you check out Chad Griffiths and Jonathan Hayek.
