I am very interested in working with investors seeking vacation properties, long term rentals, boutique hotels, multi-family rentals, and more.

The partner that you seek should be strong in the areas you may be weak.

I want to achieve this goal by the time I am 42 years old.I am currently seeking a mentor in this endeavor.I came to Bigger Pockets by itunes.

It's a pain, but maybe he will cooperate to let you start showing to new prospects NOW.  

Would anyone here say thats a ok start or would holding cash and seeking a Conventional loan  be better.side note: I want to get out of renting before summer 2016 (month2month lease at moment)

Just looking to connect with like minded REI'ers in Pike county Pennsylvania (poconos) that have invested in or are actively seeking to invest in vacation rental properties.

We buy and dozens to hundreds of properties per month and have done so since the late ‘90s.Around 2005 I had a SQL relational database custom designed by some bright local guys to the tune of about $300K to ease the processing pain my staff was experiencing.

Parking is a pain, there are no yards, I already mentioned the schools, so there is little here for the two parents with the 2.5 kids, but if you're some just out of college 20something working for a non-profit or a childless 40something professional couple, we are the bomb.

you have a great opportunity with your background, if you can do work for other investors, learn what they do, and watch their successes and failures, seek out the more seasoned folks, even if your working at a discount, it may be worth it to learn on their dime.

It's a pain, but it has to be done.
