I just recently started a jiu jitsu academy with a couple of friends, and although I was not in the day to day grind of the process in finding a building and building the space out, I did become fascinated with the process.

It has been sold to Inspira.For those who are interested in some background, here is today's public Facebook post from  my friend John Hyre, the brilliant tax attorney well known to most real estate investors, one of the keynote speakers at every Quest Expo.

I recommend you go visit a few times to network with local investors or find an investor friendly agent so you can gain local market knowledge, find off market deals and for things such as showings, picture taking or getting accurate comps.

I have always been fascinated with Peoria, though I’m not sure how investor friendly Illinois is.

No reason not to use a top platform.Regarding the friends thing, that is dirty pool IMHO.

Smart move. documentation is your best friend :)  Stay safe out there.

Brokers are your best friend as we have the entire industry at the palm of our hand and usually save you time & money.

God speed friend!

Yeah I have some friends that have properties they hold in New Orleans and have heard the good and the bad.

I will provide some thoughts on the San Diego purchase- virtually all high LTV mls purchases since rates started to hike have negative cash flow at purchase- historically great appreciation- historically great rent growth but recently flattening- prop 13 is great benefit for long holds- laws keep getting less LL friendly.
