@Ben Syzek,Congrats at the decision to start learning about REI. 

I am ready to start investing in real estate but know no one personally already doing it.Thanks a bunchExcited to start learning and connecting with Bigger Pockets community! 

I'll never forget what he told me, If you ever want to start purchasing real estate simply call this guy and write him a check and don't ask any questions.

Due to item 1, adding an ADU can require years to start achieving any return (once the accumulated cash flow recovers the initial negative position).4) Adding an ADU is a slow process.

I'm a local youth pastor in MN and I'm looking into getting started in real estate so that I can provide extra income for my growing family.

At one point my Brokerage employed over 70 Agents and trust me, those stats track.So when a company starts advertising on my show, or an Agent starts working at my Brokerage I can usually if they'll make it long term or if they'll flame out.

I'm currently looking for a CPA and tax expert to help me get started with my first rental property.

I'm currently listed for short term rentals and am starting to get a few bookings into April and May...would hate to cancel BUT would take MTR as preference.

You are just starting and with no reviews, it will take some time.

I am looking into residential construction companies and want to get an idea of the markets direction in the areas mentioned and start networking with investors in the area.
