If the failure to join was a ministerial oversight, then a new deed would probably cure the defect. 

I had to do that to join.  

Join a realtor that understands and deals with investment properties. 

Best advice is to join or visit a local REIA meetup and start shaking hands.

We’re thrilled you've joined us.

It’s fantastic to have a Realtor and investor with expertise in new construction homes joining the community.Here’s how you can engage and collaborate with the BP community.

I have read books, joined forums and probably know all I need to about mid term rentals.

My name is Michael, and I’m excited to join BiggerPockets and dive deeper into real estate investing!

New to the BP forum and joined out of curiosity for a hypothetical scenario.I know everyone's situation is different, and everyone has different needs and priorities within Real Estate.So I was curious on one of the many situations one might find themselves in.In this scenario I wanted to ask if a HELOC on either your primary or an existing rental property out of 4 total properties would be a viable strategy for acquiring practically " turn-key " Multi-Family rentals?

(Only if you are SERIOUS about real estate as your wealth/career vehicle.)Make sure you join a brokerage that is large, established, and has a reputation for top performance and excellent training.Once you learn the basics and get out into the field to see the state of the market, you'll learn the price points and be able to know a good/great deal when you stumble across it.I have made some of my best (most lucrative) buys from meeting with a seller who wants to list, and when we discussed the price, I knew it fit my parameters, so I bought it!
