Any tips on creative ways to scale? 

Hi everyone,
I’m new to real estate investing and I’m considering getting into long-term multifamily rentals. One thing I’m trying to figure out is how to find good locations where property prices are relatively low,...

Any tips on how I could connect with some?

Those are good resources, but what you will find is that most of the closing is learned in the field by connecting with people.A couple of tips:1.

Are there strategies, financing tips, or resources you’d recommend for someone in my position?

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

If anyone has advice—whether it’s general tips or insights about these markets—I’d really appreciate it! 

Really looking for tips on what to do from investors who have been in this type of situation.
