@Donte Brame there's the RI Real Estate Investor Group that meets twice monthly, usually the first Thursday of the month online for anyone, and the third Thursday in-person for members in Warwick.

When you run property management numbers - they get 'ugly' real fast.Lets say you buy a long term rental and it rents for $1,200/month, and if you financed it, it costs you $900/month for a fully loaded (Principle, interest, taxes, insurance) mortgage.  

Hello BP Gang,I've wanted to be a real estate investor for a long time and recently learned that I've been approaching it all wrong.

I can buy real estate syndications and never pay taxes on the gains (Lazy 1031).  

I am not an LA or So Cal real estate expert, but from what I generally know about the market is, if you can get any positive cash flow (with "reasonable" down payment), it is likely a win.  

What's one piece of advice you would give to your 20 year old self about Real Estate?

Welcome to the BP forum and best of luck on your real estate investing journey!

I am extremely interested in learning everything that I can about real estate.
