I have been doing a lot of research but still have a lot of questions I would like to run by someone that has some knowledge about commercial/multi-family real estate. 

By building strong connections and sharing knowledge, we can support each other's journeys and uncover new pathways to success.Moreover, let's not forget the importance of maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Lastly, your $8K and market knowledge could be a great start to a partnership with someone who has more funds but less time & knowledge...

Everything you said is common knowledge.

It will all depend on what your goals are.Ask them questions that will help you determine whether they have the value/knowledge that you'll need to get closer to your goals.

Most of the time they are quite knowledgable.

Since then, I've documented the process as a Boutique Hotel investor and have a deep commitment to sharing my knowledge around Boutique Hotel Investing with others who are looking for a path to financial freedom, and Boutique Hotels is the best path to get there in my personal opinion.

Build your portfolio as your knowledge and wealth increase. 

This community is full of knowledgeable investors who are eager to share insights and experiences to help you on your journey.To make the most of this platform, I recommend asking very specific, detailed questions.
