I’ve found success by networking at local meetups, connecting with real estate agents, and exploring online platforms to discover these opportunities.

Their new online system is really confusing, and I have had to call customer support for help each time I needed to wire/ACH funds because I could never figure it out on my own (and their customer service chat box isn't set up yet). 

I don't care what anyone online says if you live there and have tenants at your home it will be a job. 

I think it requires some "black-swans" to get us there but hey, that's my take, who knows, I also thought shopping online was dumb back when, lol. 

A lot of that is referral based or people find my site online, organically. 

Tanisha is the creater of the income snowball which is a patented system (you can look up the patent online) that allows you to create passive income from leveraging debt in form of credit lines.

A good tip is to reach out to contractors, visit local supply stores, and check out online resources for cost ranges.

Quickbooks online could work for what you need.  

When I did an online search for commercial multifamily lenders, most have a minimum lending requirement of $1M and I don't need that much. 

It's just a fire hose of information and a menu of unnecessary expenses for a new investor that puts the cart before the horse.
