@Jason Weidmann what do you think of every agent responding telling you to go, go, go!

Is there a way for me to give them access with the desktop version?

It depends on what you want to invest in.

What market are you in? 

As for buy and hold, getting your foot in the door with a house hack is almost always what I recommend. 

@Chase AlexanderRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Seems to me my “permanent note portfolio is basically a passive investment, while my variable note portfolio is somewhere between business and investment.  

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

Yeah, I just did a loan for an investor in the North Tahoe area and the insurance was wild, a lot of that is only going to qualify for Cal FAIR unfortunately due to wildfire risk. 

What's the name of the fund?
