Quote from @Lee Banks: Hi my name is Lee I'm looking too buy my first rental property and but I feel as if I need a mentor to watch, I still need to learn the basics of real-estate does anyone in New York do programs or mentorships and where would you start if you first started real-estate today  Hello Lee,I'd recommend looking up local meetups here on BP, meetup.com and, eventbrite.You can also call around to speak with RE investors and professionals in your target market to begin making connections.With so much available information online, I'd recommend speaking to a few people and doing independent research before committing to mentorships.

I have a lot of good information on the KC multifamily market that I can send you. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

The marketing class will help you keep your STRs and LTRs leased.

I suspect maybe something like Hagerstown or Cumberland, which yeah are Class D like markets with declining populations, high drug problems, no strong job base which leads to non paying tenants.

If you like where you live, I would explore investing in a cheaper out-of-state market. 

@Blake Johnson If investors want to divide real estate holdings without triggering a large tax bill, the biggest challenge is that transferring assets out of a corporation is typically treated as a taxable sale at fair market value.

The price we thought was very reasonable in this current market based off the other properties we have seen prior to that with similar layouts. 

Or maybe certain markets or property types you’re curious about?

Generally I'm seeing anywhere from $25 - $40/Sf in TIA in different markets around the country.
