My JV partner, Jason Bridges (https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/michealb14) and I, rehab, flip, wholesale and wholetail in and around Belleville.So far as meetups and networking, Rich Groves (post above) is the man! 

Fortunately the rules have been "modernized," which is kind of a rich NLP technique if you ask me. 

But this will also lead to future inflation.The issue is going to be the rich will get richer as they can live with lower cash flow but gain appreciation.

I have most recently read in the last 2 weeks, Poor Dad Rich Dad and Bigger Pockets Invest In Real Estate the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Getting Started.

For years I have seen postcards and ads inviting me to a Rich Dad seminar.

Purchase price: $86,000 Cash invested: $2,500 After being done with Rich Dad, Poor Dad, several podcasts (including bigger pockets), and other resources we were desperate to take action.

OOS is risky at any level, then when you add the other variables, Sec 8, property managers, it's too rich for my blood.

BP has done such a great job of promoting SFR investing to the masses, that those masses have pushed up real estate prices to where it's now DIFFICULT to cashflow right away.Keep going, but understand you won't get rich in real estate overnight - it's a long-term wealth building strategy.For the short-term, recommend joining a few in-person investor meetings if possible, otherwise online ones.

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.
