In July, the U.S. commercial real estate market experienced mixed results, with property price gains slowing, particularly among individual investors.

I've heard of a deal where maybe I buy the house from the owner and then the owner then becomes a tenant.I've watched so many BP and Real Estate Rookie videos, all the information is swirling in my head and I just don't want to miss out on a good deal.

Planning to relocate to the Southeast (SC, NC or Georgia) in 2026 and want to start out by investing in single-family rentals, condos and joining real estate investment groups to invest in multi-unit or commercial properties.My investing goals consist of cash flow for consistent monthly payments and equity for bigger purchases down the road.Looking forward to building a network of real estate professionals and investors to help find new opportunities, stay on top of market trends and provide value to other investors and tenants.Any tips for new investors would be appreciated.Best,Brett HarmonTwitter

Reach out to a few and see who you like.You can also ask members of your local real estate investors association for real estate accountant recommendations.Good luck.

These lists include details like the type of permit, property address, project scope, and sometimes the owner or contractor's contact information.How Real Estate Investors Can Use Building Permit Lists:Identify Potential Sellers:Investors can track permits for major renovations or additions.

Let me know if my numbers are correct, I run a call center for Real Estate so I look at these kinds of numbers all the time.

@Peter Tverdov I hear about “Say Rhino” on the Remote Real Estate investor podcast today and found it interesting.

My good friend has already had a lot of success in real estate and is an ultra high income earner.

I know 2 of them personally.I've also been looking for meet ups around real estate investing here in Michigan and also noticed a lack of networking opportunities as well.

@Sharad BoniRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
