I want to ask ya'll seasoned investors if you were starting out today where would you start investing with all the experience and knowledge you have now?

I am considering getting into this space (looking at some courses), but worried that its too late, and that deep local market knowledge/understanding of buyers/connection with developers etc is required to make this work, which only incumbent/long term investors will have and would be hard for a new entrant starting from scratch to catch-up...is my hypothesis valid in your opinion ?

If you're open to sharing your knowledge or having a conversation, I would greatly appreciate your support.Please feel free to reach out—I look forward to connecting with you!

Just wondering how many folks would really use this that are like I said not really educated on how title and escrow works and I find East coast folks to be highly reliant on closing attornies and have very little knowledge of title and escrow functions..

To get started, connect with a knowledgeable real estate agent and lender, practice analyzing deals, and network through local investor meetups.

I feel like I have all the knowledge, but I have still not found that first deal!

It could be a nice opportunity however I would be certain they will want you to make up the difference between $250,000 and whatever is left on the mortgage which btw in my opinion should be done with lender's knowledge and approval.
