Join real estate groups, attend workshops, and engage with online communities to learn from others’ experiences.

Stay away from Evolve, Vacasa and the other large players.

I will throw DJT back in the 80's with his version of junk bonds, I mean syndications (as they are now called for the smaller players).

This individual not only disrupted the peace of my other tenants but also engaged in criminal activities, including domestic violence and terrorizing children in the building.

Gather some market data- look for local market reports and engage a commercial real estate broker who can provide some great market insights.

I would also look for a PM that was departmentalized with a local team engaged in managing the properties. 

I am a small player, but I can complete projects in months, not years.

Engaging with the community through forums and local meetups can also provide valuable insights and support from experienced investors.By setting clear objectives, you can create a roadmap that guides your decision-making process and keeps you focused on your ultimate aspirations.

I have made it a goal to own our first property in the next 9 months and hope to attend community events and get engaged with local investors and agents in the mean time!

I aim to connect with fellow investors and agents to impart my insights and continue learning from the collective wisdom here.I am looking forward to engaging in conversations and gaining more knowledge.ThanksAhmed
