I also would not overlook the power of joining Facebook groups for people looking for rentals, especially if you are placing a tenant yourself.

I would suggest looking into local groups as well, there are Real Estate Investor Associations in nearly every metro in the US, so I would join one if you can.

We're glad you joined us.

I immediately signed up for a BP Pro membership, joined a live webinar on how to start in 2024, and absorbed everything I could about real estate.At first, I was exploring the idea of investing in San Diego, where my girlfriend and I were living at the time.

You’ve joined a supportive and knowledgeable group, all here to learn from and help each other grow in real estate.

If talking to more builders does not work out to join you on transaction #1+ and you have enough capital and heavy rehab experience along with a GC / builder doing the project many lenders out there will offer you a lower leverage loan for your first project on your own.  60% finished value and 75% LTC is probably achievable without a builder in your company for the loan. 

When someone joins BP with a paid membership, sponsors a podcast, or buys a book, it's clear where the money is flowing.
