I feel like my "circle of people" really needs an expansion and improvement and I want someone with more experience in the field I want to be in to really help me gain myself to success!

There are certain things that require experience that DIYers just can't get right or spend way too much time trying to do.

Any advice or experiences you’re open to sharing would be greatly appreciated!

Hiring a property management company with experience in the markets you're considering can be a game-changer.Have you identified which markets you want to invest in?

As mentioned in the title, I'm new to real estate investing I'm wondering if there's anyone out there with experience with the co-living strategy using pressurized walls in Las Vegas.

However, we will likely need a property manager to assist with some facets of running this rental (since we would not live locally) and would primarily market it through platforms such as Airbnb and VRBO to start, (eventually setting up a direct booking process).Here's our question for those who have experience in STR's or who might be involved in a similar scenario: How challenging is it to meet the material participation hours needed to achieve active status?

In my experience, you can absolutely use hard money in bank owned reo auctions...you still don't generally get access and thus need a lender who does need an appraisal in this scenario. 

@Robert Gorra - I've had a similar experience where I've had a really hard time with getting GC's to even give me an estimate, and the few that have have been way overpriced (ie, they want me to put in $20k of cabinets in a budget flip) or have had their prices go up by about 40% and still not give me a firm price when I try to nail down the scope of work.

Hi Lorenzo, Within my 20 years of experience, I’ve seen this play out many times, especially in competitive markets like East Boston.
