LOL.I'll just put it this way - virtually all of the people who I meet out in the real world actually operating and owning profitable businesses don't even have a Youtube channel, and most of them have never learned anything from anyone who does.PS Anyone who uses the word rockstar to describe themselves is not to be trusted.

I do not know PL too much but I know it is the most popular for small unit count operators. 

More than likely the asset will in a location where cap ex & management/operational costs are disproportionately higher and therefore your expense ratio will also have to be adjusted to a higher number.  

This approach will help preserve your operating capital.

Find the REIA group for your areaAs Henry noted, post something specific for your area and tag your market.Get on Loopnet for your area and property type, reach out to the brokers that are listing deals and offer to take to coffee (they are often invested in deals too but you could ask for connections to other operators that might be getting started).And, again as Henry noted, each person you meet, ask them what other networking events they have attended that you can put on your list.

You then take the cash-out and buy 1-3 more properties and get them operational.

I host a group for midterm rental operators and I had 2 people in last week's meeting essentially say the same thing.

What I love about Baselane is that it was built BY real estate investors FOR real estate investors so it's really dialed in to what you're going to need in order to prepare your taxes, keep your books up to date and the more operational aspects of being an REI like tenant vetting and processing rent payments.

It's just not how successful people operate.

I started operating the property in mid-2023.
