You want a professional to do that for you.

The best thing would be to find ways to build you skills, network and experience first and then worry about investing later.

My advice would be to network like crazy, attend local real estate meetups or seminars, and maybe even look for a mentor in your area who's experienced in real estate investing.

Maybe checking out local networking events or online forums could help you connect with potential lenders.

While I may be new to the game, I'm eager to learn, grow, and build a successful portfolio in really any metropolitan areas of Virginia, not just Richmond.Although I have limited investment experience, I recognize the importance of networking and seeking guidance from seasoned professionals.

Remember, partner, knowledge is power, so keep learning, researching, and engaging with seasoned professionals in the industry.

Thanks and looking forward to networking with all of you! 

Of course, it's always a good idea to consult with a real estate agent or professional to get their opinion and ensure you're making a fair offer.

I've since found it to be an awesome source for networking and learning.
