How exciting starting in real estate with so many great opportunities ahead for you.  

A few methods include: Real estate conferences (which can be costly), joining paid communities (which can really be costly), the meetups and forums posted in BiggerPockets, local events, and other online softwares that allow you to search for buyers specifically interested in your location and preferences (of which I like freipro.com the best).

I have an opportunity to work with a couple of private lenders.

If you haven't heard of WIIRE (women invest in real estate), it's a mostly-online community created by @ameliajorei and @grace.investing (instagram handles).

Personally I would not look favorably upon a property management company with great online reviews.

Find great opportunities.

I was approached by my neighbor if I wanted to purchase their house since they plan to move in the next three months for new job opportunities.

I've read somewhere online that you should do the latter, but at the same time if I were to calculate ROI as if it was a potential new purchase I would base the calculation on the downpayment, right?

Tons of opportunities, easy-to-find information and potential partnerships right here on the BP forums.Just heard Aaron Rodgers on Joe Rogan's podcast, sounds like hes still sharp and ready to go for next season!

The short-term rental market in Ocean City, MD, is a lucrative opportunity for investors.
