Check the events pages here on BiggerPockets, local KC investing Facebook groups, and meetup dot com for real estate.

I know a local PM company here charges $7 per property per day=$210/mo for basically the same service.

Connect with me here on BiggerPockets and I'll get you connected locally with an entire support group. 

You can also contact local Realtors for assistance; for example, here in Charlotte, I work with clients who are not ready to buy or rent.

Its also more cost efficient compared to NY in terms of fee's and overall costs to set up LLC.When I set my LLC up in Fl it took literally 15 minutes and you will need to get your Tax ID/IEN set up so you can get your business checking account set up with a local FL bank. 

My aim is to not only profit financially but to gain in the process some intangible assets, such as project management skills, getting to know reliable professionals (i.e. realtors, contractors, designers, etc.) for the long-term, getting acquainted with the local market's promises and pitfalls, and basically adding some entrepreneurial muscle going into my next project.My strategy is to go small: find a second-hand apartment in a good location (I don't have enough funds for a GREAT location...); no more than 60-70 m2 (that's about 650-750 f2) to, among other things, lower renovation costs; 1-2 bedrooms, street facing and with a lift (if said apartment is above the second floor); with good bones, i.e., needs only partial renovation.

Good afternoon Real Estate Experts I am planning to start commercial real estate investing later this year with the following plan: Looking to get 10-20-30-40 unit commercial multifamily with 20% down and preferred lender (the downpayment funds will be combined within 2-3 investor either to syndication or real estate fund, not yet decide it).

Most of those tools don’t even own any real estate but act like experts. lol.

Lots of experts with misconceptions on these.It's not a timeshare.

I also recommend attending local REI networking groups and meetups to connect with fellow real estate investors.
