Looking forward to connecting with like-minded peopleI am hoping my obsession for structure, organization and spreadsheets serves me well on this adventure!

Establish connections with experts in the field, including wholesalers, bankers, contractors, real estate brokers, and seasoned investors.7.

I'm just starting my real estate journey myself here in the Upstate and am learning that local connections, regardless of how knowledgeable the online ones are, still seem to work best for me.For instance, out of state accountants may excel at income tax matters, but then you may miss those nuances of how property taxes hit investors harder than homeowners in S.

I would love to connect with other investors or investor friendly realtors to invest more into quad cities.Can someone also please recommend a contractor who can rehab here?

I am looking for connections to vetted private lending groups to learn more about my options as a smaller lender. 

So it may be a great place for you to get connected to.

Try to go with a different (neutral) colored paint on the walls and have it be a color that will look connected to the green wall tile and the floor tile that you will install.
