@Nicholas Nakamurain order to be successful, you will need to build a network on the ground in Ohio with people you know and trust. buying a random property on the MLS in unknown condition based on other people looking at it, and putting it under management with people you have never met, will not work, and you will lose money.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/963/topics/1195280-expe...https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/1137397-balti...so - what's your plan? 

However, I find myself uncertain about how to structure such deals and whether I could successfully secure them.I was wondering if you could offer any recommendations for educational resources that might help me better understand and navigate the intricacies of creative finance and seller finance deals.

@Obed Calixte The memories that bring me joy from a career perspective are the times when I've had the good fortune of delivering an above-projection return after a successful investment round trip. 

That is a successful approach.  

The most successful investors have looked at thousands of properties in person in their lifetimes.

I have a relative that has some flipping experience (2 successful flips) kind of mentoring me along.

Acquiring Clients: For those who’ve raised capital successfully and built a strong network of clients, how did you go about finding and nurturing those relationships?

To this day, I still haven't seen someone in my network successfully executing the creative financing options.

There is nothing more annoying that paying $1200 just to hear a sales pitch and be told that the only thing that will allow you to be successful is to sink a ton of cash into the advanced training. 

@Jordan Meltzer congrats on the mid term biz and your success.
