I'm a multifamily analyst for a bank that originates all sorts of real estate loans, and I am looking to connect with people that have a passion for real estate and money.

Since the numbers may be very similar in these markets its important to have a few conversations with people on the ground that you can rely on.

I personally don’t have anything written regarding repair processes because that can be pretty situational but my owners are always aware of costlier issues, myself and my team are open books and they all have access directly to me or my husband/co-owner.You bring up really good points and I'm grateful for your feedback on this. 

The unit I want to occupy has 3 people living in it, when is it safe to give them a notice to vacate and does anyone have a template for this?  

Obviously, there are people that leave W2s to get into real estate full time.  

Lot of people don't take action because they don't have knowledge to take action...

Time is on your side and it seems almost like a waste of effort to pay down loans quickly, if you can let time take care of it without any contribution from you.Not many people have the obsession with REI to grow a significant portfolio, but you can probably manage 30 to 50 doors on the side, before it becomes impossible and you need a PM.

2) Does old carpet bring the house value down?

Flipping is a high risk high reward endeavor, especially with people just starting out. 

I'd love for anyone to connect with me as I hope having people to talk to about all this will help make my first time jitters go away easier.
