Hey all, I've been looking for my first investment property in my local marketplace (2 hour radius around me) Here is what I have been finding for the most part... 

Here are a few thoughts I have:Market Research: I’m willing to dedicate time to researching potential properties and analyzing market trends to help identify lucrative deals.Networking: I aim to build relationships within the local real estate community, which could open doors to new opportunities for us all.Project Management: My military experience has equipped me with strong organizational and logistical skills that could help streamline processes and improve communication.I would love to hear from seasoned investors about their thoughts on partnering with someone who may not have a financial contribution upfront.
