Definitely a chunk of change I don't want to pay, but having my cash back out to do another deal might be worth it... 

Overall it was a good experience, and I will definitely do what I can to nurture the channel. 

With experience in construction and sales, you'll definitely be able to use those skills to your advantage when doing value-add deals.The better the deal is, the easier it will be to do the BRRRR method and you can find some of the best deals off-market, so it's important to build a solid network and create deal flow so you can see as many opportunities as possible. 

i have seen that quadplex on the market for a while and yea it is definitely more than i would like to tackle right now but i think i could possibly make that SF work thank you for the recommendations  @Anthony Benoit For what it's worth, I'd estimate you'd need to negotiate the purchase price on that SF down a bit to make the numbers work in that area (BRRR or F/F).

My goal is to become a successful investor and eventually build wealth through real estate, and I’m hoping to find mentorship and guidance from those who’ve walked this path before me.If anyone has any tips, advice, or would be open to sharing their experiences, I’d love to connect!

@Fakaradin Floyd, it has been very pleasant following your path, thanks for updating us. 

While he’s definitely a self-made guru, he comes across as someone who genuinely wants to do the right thing when you speak with him.I understand many of you have had frustrating experiences and feel let down by the system, and I’m truly sorry to hear that.

I will definitely look into the books you recommended.

Your path will likely get you to where you desire, it will just take a little time. 

I believe it's the most likely path to proper wealth.
