People don’t want to share their quiet neighborhoods with renters who don’t value peace and quiet and a sense of community.  

I am keen to learn from the experiences of seasoned professionals and collaborate with fellow investors who share a passion for real estate.

If anybody has a go to list of books or podcasts they would like to share in the meantime, I'd very much appreciate that. 

Dominic, I've found that participating on BiggerPockets forums, appearing on podcasts, and speaking at conferences have built trust with first-time passive investors when those forum posts, podcast discussions, and conference presentations show my experience, track record, and market knowledge to those reading, listening, or attending.This doesn't mean "selling from the stage", but instead, sharing actionable, useful information that I've gleaned from my many years of experience and from my own research. 

The forums are full of experienced investors who are happy to share advice and tips to help you succeed.Best,Jarret

Can you please share what you use it would be great.

@Shawn Ackerman would you be generous to share your process of assessing deals?

Helps me reflect on the day and see what needs to change in that That's awesome to have an accountability group you can share metrics with.

.- It's not profitable for them to search for under-market priced houses, figure out repairs needed or what other problem is pushing the price down and do even more for a newbie investor that has analysis-paralysis and may never buy anything.Some questions you'll want to share the answers to with any agent you choose:1) Are you paying cash or getting a mortgage?
