Quote from @Austin Ralls: Good evening BP Community, Can anyone shine some light on the rules and regulations on striking conversations with local pros and acquiring more PML to help fund deals? 

Happy to refer and help you out!

Summary: I’m currently working on a project to analyze rental market trends and help real estate investors, landlords, and property managers identify high-performing areas.

It’s a good reminder for landlords to stay adaptable and ready to respond to changes in rental demand.As an experienced loan officer in Georgia, I’m happy to help both buyers and sellers navigate this competitive market.

I am investor myself, but I’m now diving deeper as an investor friendly real estate agent helping others build their portfolios.

My budget is up to $70k and I will need help from family to start.

Let me know if you need any more help—I’m happy to provide additional guidance! 

i am adjusting my strategy and going to try to keep expanding my funnel.I don't think @Russell Brazil is saying to go out and blindly buy a terrible deal... just that no, the ship hasn't sailed on Boston (as I don't think it has either) and RE remains a good investment.happy to continue to dialogue... hope this helps

This will give you clarity on the numbers and help you determine how to structure an offer that works for both sides.
