Meet-ups via local groups or via zoom calls or private REI clubs/groups.Asking a seasoned agent in each city/county as well as a Banker/Loan officer will also help put a plan together.

@lee sanders    the key is to have good property management, i had a 2 family I loved and sold it just to get away from the tenants. 

Too many newbies "buy" what's being sold without reading or demanding to be given the "fine print".

If this is not something you're interested in delving into and learning to a high degree, then investing in publicly traded REITs would be another good option for you, which have historically returned about 13.5 per cent Per year over the past 50 years (1977-present), beating the US stock market by two per cent and even beating private real estate investing by 4 per cent (that's compared with the average real estate investor, not the experts here at Bigger Pockets).

I sold a property on June 2nd and still have not received any funds.

2024 was a banner year for our investor clients with eight prime Oregon Coast vacation rentals sold.

Each grouping had a common room (perhaps it was shared by multiple groupings ... this was a detail I missed) with a nurses/aid workers office.Central to the two sides of the complex were common facilities such as a dining hall, gym {perhaps a pool ... another detail I missed}, theatre &  games room.With one of the fastest growing groups in our society being single people, we are examining a related idea of a  complex / building providing a modest-sized 1-bdroom "apartment" with more semi-private and common amenities.When I read the title to your thread, I thought it was a project proposing to mix students and seniors into a single complex ... and came in thinking, this ought to be interesting :-) 

@Ian Kibbe @Aaron Francesjust sold.. final photo of garden unit addition 

He wanted it all sold as a single package with no owner financing.  

to simplify, here's what i would do: don't borrow private money, or partner, until you have a track record.
