Not only will that give you info on where to find deals, but also financing, niches, and everything you need to get started in real estate investing.That being said, if you set up some keyword alerts on the site, you'll get notifications everytime somebody posts about "Tampa" or whatever you set your keywords to be, and deals can surface that way too.Hope this helps!

It definitely took longer than I would have preferred but that patience really paid off.

You need to find a niche where you can succeed and get the results you want. 

Also which one do you prefer?

This is perhaps the least risk member category.Limited partners make all initial equity contribution, pays no holding costs, earns 8% preferred (Level #1) with a catch up provision to the Sponsor on net cash flow up to 15% (Level #2)  and with the equity split afterwards  on remaining net cash(Level #3). 

Kids will be out of school in the next few weeks and in general, most people prefer to move during nicer weather.Glass half empty- well, you could probably come up with many assumptions yourself but I would stay positive for the next couple weeks and see how some of this plays out.

I'm not afraid of professional memberships as a cost of doing business but would prefer to hold off on it until I'm ready to make the plunge. 

@Jim Johnson on the topic of mastermind groups for this niche, I discovered one called MHP Tribe.  

Some may prefer to utilize the convenience of technology while others want to maintain personal relationships.

However, I am highly interested in the US real estate market, and I do prefer to go for leverage rather than a huge down payment.What would you recommend please?
