One of Scott's marketing "mentor" is Perry Belcher, a convicted felon.

U can still have a hiccup of course but generally speaking far safer than any junior or unsecured As you have a specific ownership interest that cant be deluded and is first priority in any BK

I am a self-managing investor in Buffalo and frequently mentor newbies or out of area investors.

This might help you get a bit of breathing room to address the bigger maintenance issues you mentioned, like the garage roof and leaning trees.It’s also important to find a support system, whether it’s other landlords who understand what you’re going through or a mentor who can offer advice and encouragement.

Why can't you start with some smaller residential or small multifamily commercial properties to get your feet wet, show proof of concept and possibly try to take on larger deals.Or possibly find a local syndication group and become an employee under them learning the trade and finding a mentor in the space.

If you've saved enough, trying to house hack a local 2-family in your junior or senior year (maybe with a parent as a cosigner) would be ideal because you can learn landlording and experiment with your friends as tenants.

Be sure to have good exit strategy for if/when that happens.A wise mentor told me once that until you've "Battle tested" a strategy for at least 5 years thru one full economic cycle, consider it still all good luck.

If you have a wealth of experience and are open to mentoring or networking, please get in touch.

I got the drive just looking for any wisdom I can gain maybe even a mentor??

The majority is with property management, the rest if online looking at statement and reports.People often ask me what I actually provide to them in my mentoring and coaching program.
