I'd greatly appreciate:1.Phone numbers of investors willing to discuss local market opportunities2.Recommendations for Facebook groups or forums where property owners list their assetsYour insights will help me expand my network and find potential deals.

What kind of deals do you invest in?

No rent control in VA is good to know we wont have to deal with any of that.

I would just factor in the CG tax into my sales deal.

The deals I have seen work are larger 4 units $800k+ in class A/B+ areas mainly as those have less competition and atleast my market noth side chicago they still sell at decent real life cap rates.

I've expressed bills are to be paid with Airbnb profits and he's just ghosted me so he doesn't have to deal with someone constantly reminding him where the operating agreement said the money is supposed to go.

It’s a mediocre but not killer deal for me to not renew lease, rehab and rent to new tenants, as I’ll make only 8% COC.

That doesn’t affect their comps. 1 year ago the standard deal was $10k in closing help and a 6% 30 year loan as an investor. 

They're alway talking about the next deal, investing strategies like flipping, buy-and hold, and anticipating/reacting to the market. 

There is one business in particular that has been very tempting to try and acquire, but I am not sure the next steps to actually go about doing it.Questions like: Confirming it qualifies for commercial real estate loans (SBA), what type of network (brokers/lawyers/etc) would be needed to appraise and finalize a deal, and where to look for that network.
