Hi BP Community - I've had a few coffees with local investors in recent weeks, and have really enjoyed the conversations.

Prioritize education through online classes and local meetings, cultivate a network of experienced professionals, and stay current on market trends and rehab prices to ensure successful transactions.

This would cover your biggest risk, which is liability lawsuit if someone is injured on the trampoline.Regarding the shed, was it installed in compliance with all local municipality statutes?

I'm looking to surround myself with like minded individuals and would love to attend some local meetups as I start this new journey.

Sounds like you have a good handle on the local market.

Before taking the plunge, I recommend investing time in educating yourself and connecting with local investors.

I live 3-4 hours away, so I'm putting together some local resources.

Quote from @Chris Samson: Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of your screen and you can search for other MEMBERS or LOCAL MEETUPS.

(Especially when you live at your investment, it can be time and attention consuming, but it's an incredible way to learn the ins and outs of real estate investment.)3) Attending local meet-ups is a great way to make connections and learn.

Great company and local operation that does things right.Toledo is notorious for bad operators especially when it comes to contractors so the BRRR approach when investing out of state can end up in disaster.Just had a 1hr call with an investor that was going to purchase a property for cash and site unseen.A "reputable" realtor in town influenced him to buy without doing an inspection.Just by looking at the photo's, we could see a lot of problems with the property.Stay diligent and focus more on the people rather then the deals themselves.Much success
