I’m not in the game yet, but I’ve been diving into this to prepare for my first multi-family deal.

It’s a longer-term game, though, with higher upfront costs.I’d say spend some time researching your target area and connecting with local investors or meetups—they’re goldmines for market insights and networking.

I have searched and filled out endless online forms only to have lenders offer me unsecured loans or other products, but not a heloc.  

Real estate is a long term game once you understand that it gets easier my friend .

I'd like to get a few properties in my portfolio, continue to network and learn the game and then transition into finding, funding, rehabbing and closing my own deals. 

Look up the default risk by credit score, this information is readily available online. 

Like you said RE is a people business and if you are uncomfortable with people you probably aren't going far. bottom line people our age actually worked at 8 9 10 years old did not sit home playing computer games LOL.. although kids doing that today and have a knack for it and go into tech later do quite well of course :)   I mean for me it was 57 to 60 years ago I am just thankful today I am alive and well and can read and type and still work :)  AND remember those days fondly.

I emphasize the importance of utilizing professional photos, videos, and online presence to enhance property visibility.
