If you don't have enough capital then getting a second job, seller financing, or looking in other less expensive local areas can help with that deal.

Aside from RE (but business goals related) I'd like to do financial advising on a consulting basis, am currently getting my CFP, and have been pursuing financial independence for six years and hope to be FI within the next 3-5 years.I'd love a mastermind group that can discuss real estate and business/investing goals and progress, be inspired by others successes, and learn from one another.

Feel free to reach out to local investors or real estate professionals to ask questions and seek advice.

As you look at different areas that you could invest be sure and look into the state & local laws, it's an important part of due diligence that is easy to overlook. 

$20K won't do much, but you might find a local, experienced investor that you trust to join forces with.

We both realized we were jumping into this not as informed as we should be however, we could not gather enough local resources or partners to guide us so we are taking a chance. 

I'm an inspired real estate investor and Sr.

Most of the locals are friendly, nature-loving types that enjoy activities like hiking, camping, snowshoeing, and live bluegrass music. 

Send me a PM if you want me to do anything for you here locally. 

Code enforcement in Atlanta area is lower since the locale's realize that padsplit is providing low income housing so code enforcement follows neighbor complaints or repeated police visits.Your experience maybe smooth and easy, and I hope it is!!
