What's the best way to get involve in it to get some experience without burning much money? 

I would love your experiences because my alternative is to spend a ton of money on airdna data! 

Good PM's can be hard to find but the right one is always worth the money because you avoid headaches and your property will usually perform better than when it's self managed by someone without experience.Hope this helps!

Creative deals are negotiated by educated investors.You can make more money from knowledge vs having ones own cash. 

ClairInvesting in a duplex in Lubbock has many ups, like being able to live in one part and rent the other, growing your money, getting more cash, tax perks, and facing fewer times without renters.

It's very odd to have 3 different times where they refused to allow you to fix the issues and simply moved on (after spending money on inspections).

Bad foundations were my money-makers.

I joined some facebook group and sometimes the members of the group offer a joint venture where the original investor has bought a property but will need my money for the renovation.

Thy would be losing money in that situation.

Being that I own it outright, and only need $125k (budgeting for unknowns), not many hard money lenders have been overly interested.
