Hey all, as the title states I'm brand new to the real estate game and I'm looking to find people in the area who are willing to loosely guide/teach me how to wholesale/flip properties.Are there any networking events in the area I'd be able to connect with?

You're local to me.There's a couple ways to go at this ;If you're looking to save some money you can have your plumber install sub-meters after the individual meters.

OR do you call each individual specialist (plumber, electrician, mold expert, etc.)?

@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

I own all my toys, never seriously worry about money (I suspect everyone with any money always at least pays attention to it), spend my winters in Florida and rarely work in any sense (I do some consulting and side teaching) more than 10 hours a week.

Hello All, I took another look at their website and was trying to understand the difference between the individual Notes and the Funds.Am I correct in my thinking that ONLY Accredited Investors can do the Note Funds, while Individuals can do the individual notes?

First thing that comes to mind is a mentor but have not had any luck Also I have over 900k in equity across the portfolio, Is there a way to use the properties as collateral for a HELOC across the portfolio instead of individually?

Even if someone in these forums were to teach you a creative financing strategy that required zero out of pocket cash and the seller was willing to accept those deal terms, you still aren’t qualified to own real estate with your current balance sheet.

Would you be available to show/teach me how to setup Podio? 

Truthfully horrified that this is an individual who wants to raise capital from others "to scale" after owning section 8 rentals for 2 years.
