Everything I was being told sounded too good to be true and makes me wonder why most people aren't doing this.

I have posed this question to them “Are you people going broke ?”

I also enjoy designing people's homes mainly friends and family and I love renovation projects! 

Both of those models involve potentially comprehensive rehab to make a good return and new investors often hire the wrong people and spend way too much.Higher returns on her money can be found in debt fund syndications which are totally passive and can pay 12%.

Above $150k is also tough because there are only so many areas that will command price points $200k+ and only so much demand from end buyers.That said, I know people that do it and do well with it.

I not only joined this site for the knowledge, but in hopes to find a community of like minded people that are interested in helping others to grow.

People expect more. 

Well, regardless of experience, people are going to assume younger people are not as qualified, skilled or yes, even experienced (haha, I know it is goofy!).

Good morning Denise.

It was fantastic for networkingI don’t know for sure, but it seems like at around the same time that BiggerPockets started hosting its own conferences and advertising boot camps and such that it became harder and harder to find where on the website that you could find local meetups.This morning I searched the website to try to find where local meetups were posted on the website and it took me between 5 and 10 minutes to find it.
