BP is a great place to ask questions, also go to local REI networking events to meet other investors.

If this interested you then you can start by reaching out to your network and look for referrals.  

I am eagerly looking for educational seminars and networking events in order to expand my knowledge before fully jumping on board into the Real Estate Investment world. 

Always follow up and stay in touch with them. 2) Start a marketing campaign through Yellow Letters by reaching out directly to the property owners in your targeted areas. 3) Go to REI networking events to meet investors, and other professionals like GCs, property management professionals, insurance brokers and other industry professionals. 

So read books on the topic, go to networking events where you can meet HML's and private lenders, reach out to friends and family, get a HELOC on your primary if you have one, get a loan from either your 401k (if you work) or from your life insurance (if you have one.)

I am here just as every one else is, and that's to try and get answers to my questions as well as network.

Hopefully you are open to networking and mentorship.

Talk to your CPA about this.

We can plan on it very low key while presenting details about dissecting deals, how to fund deals, and this will serve as a great tool for networking. 

I would talk to a CPA on that one to be sure.Your Question "My next question would be if I keep the LLC as is and just do a DBA - should I keep a separate set of books for the DBA?".
