Hey Caleb, There are a couple local REIA groups that would be good sources to come network with local investors.

You can also become great referral sources for one another =)

Hey Brody,You cannot directly use capital losses from stocks to offset rental income, as rental income is considered passive income, but you can offset rental losses with other passive income, and if you sell a real estate property at a loss, it can offset capital gains from other sources or be carried forward for future use.

Some did sign up, I thought about it but had to look up the information they talked about to see if it was backed up by any other source besides them.What I took from this was, be peppy salesmen and fish till you hook one.

You can find more information on the website at or you can contact one of the Investment Counselors for more detailed information.Continued success, Marco SantarelliNorada Capital Management Norada Real Estate Investments(800) 611-3060NoradaCapital.comNoradaRealEstate.comSubscribe to our Podcast Your Premier Source for Turnkey Cash-Flow Investment PropertyWe are proud to be a two-time Inc. 5000 listed company.Norada Real Estate Investments https://www.NoradaRealEstate.comfrom their website:WHAT FEES DO YOU CHARGE?

Then search the internet and read 50 articles about syndication from various sources.  

This way, you would have two income sources offsetting most, or all, of your mortgage payment.

Another good source of information and points opportunities is frequentmiler.com.

If you have any bandwidth to discuss that aspect with me, I would love to pick your brain about you source deals and what is working for you in this current market.

His teachings suggest a paid off home, $500k in assets, and more than 1 source of income (SS if of that age, real estate, part time job, retirement/pension, etc.).
