Quote from @Hermes Kanaris: Hey everyone, im new to this community but always wanted to be in real estate.

Hi Reeves, welcome to the community!

I am thankful for all of the advice I've received on this platform and grateful for this community.

A brief inattention with horrid regs and horrid regulators (talk to small community bank officers & owners privately & with alcohol.

I’m thrilled to announce that I just closed on my first investment property within one week of joining the BP community!

You need to be the squeaky wheel sometimes, but it's a great blueprint, and a great community.

Many are zoned as mixed use communities.

Hi BiggerPockets Community,I’m Alex Banegas, an ambitious multi-family investor passionate about creating wealth through real estate.

WE get our spec loans from local community banks that specialize in lending to business's in the community.. they are not retail banks they are not looking to amass huge small time checking deposits..

You can also message me if this is an option you're seriously considering and I'm happy to chat with you about BiggerPocket's private community for syndication investors called PassivePockets.
