Bigger Pockets is the best way to go when reaching out to experienced investors and getting deals done the right way.

Getting a feel for some of the expenses (occupancy, Cap-ex, monthly maintenance) will be tricky at first, but feel free to reach out or post for some guidance on if what you are assuming is correct.

Our downtown area has had a huge revamp, we're one of the hottest destinations for college-educated millennials (which is great for the economy and future population growth), and our unemployment rate has been dropping steadily, https://data.bls.gov/timeseries/LAUMT0113820000000...One of our team members worked up a pretty comprehensive report with some great stats on this market, so anyone can feel free to reach out via DM and I'll shoot it over, or you can download it for free over at Keith Weinhold's awesome site, Get Rich Education: http://www.getricheducation.com/project/117-birmin...

Thanks so much for reaching out in BiggerPockets.

If I can be of service please don't hesitate to reach out

As I'm working on my cash buyers list, I started reaching out to "we buy houses" type websites in my area, Connecticut, and came across one interesting site that sells leads.

I would understand if you said the the bank will loan me 25% of $1 150 000 so basically 287.5k and then I would have to add an extra 32.5k to reach 320k (25% down).

My goal is to reach financial freedom within the next 5 years.

My long term goal is to reach financial freedom by building a buy and hold portfolio that consist of single/multi family houses.       

It seems like a simple thing, but reaching out in BiggerPockets about getting started as a real estate investor is a great first step.
