If I just call up to pick their brain about what they do... with no property to offer them.

Our best option turned out to be stacksource.com - we worked with Jaideep and he sent out one of our projects (28-unit acquisition) to about 100 lenders - we got 10-12 good responses and decided to go with Arkansas Federal Credit Union (btw, StackSource charges 1% fee paid through escrow when the loan closes - but the entire process saved us tons of brain damage from talking to hundreds of lenders).

Joe has a headache that ends up being brain cancer that he gets treatment for and it goes into remission.

🙌🏻 we would definitely want to connect with you and your wife, and maybe even pick your brain about some of the success you have had here.

It doesn't have an interface yet.This forum can be  very useful when something like AI/ML and feedback/trust of poster rating is used , for example I use Jay answer for due diligence , for 1031 I use the answer from Mike, etc etc.I have the same question long time ago as well and these days I put it in my brain , for particular context, I will trust A, in different context I would follow B advice.using tag or keyword is good but that approach is so 2005 LOL

My brain is way too scattered for the timeframe we're under.

Every month or two here in Columbus, I try to reach out to a successful RE person to just pick their brain on whatever I can.

You will usually have your answer on a specific property you own or are considering in about 1-3 days and save yourself all the brain damage.

Brain burke did a great job explaining.I would be careful with crowdfunding websites.

The interruptions and brain damage that some small deal causes, usually, is the same as a much larger deal.
