@Yousef Diab - We have a new "free course" that we are in beta on called the "Path to Purchase" here at BiggerPockets.

I wish you the best on whatever path you decide to take. 

There are many groups that meet across the country.

🤔Hard to imagine that getting away and meeting with investors from around the country wouldn't being beneficial though! 

Contractors here are super busy, as they are in most of the country right now.

The biggest real estate investment firms in the country have execs that work many weekends and evenings.

In principle, each country has similar programs, but the details may differ somewhat. 

I’m currently grappling with which path / options to take and would love all your thoughts – below I have outlined some context of my situation and options.Context:- Currently own 2 properties – my SFH (which I don’t want to move out of) and a condo that is rented (currently to family members which makes it easier)- Have 150k cash + 150k available from a HELOC at 3.75% -- have more available but this is all I want to allocate to REI right now (I say this so you know I’m not being super stretched investing the 300k)- I’m open to investing locally or remotely within the US – we live on the WC approx. 3hrs from SF- My wife and I work demanding 9-5 jobs – we are open and willing to spend material time on this but cannot make it our full-time roles for at least a couple more yearsOptions – I have outlined these in my perceived level of difficulty, would also love you thoughts on that 1.

I chose to enter REI via the wholesaling path due to a lack of capital needed for direct buy and flip.

I don’t have any relatives/friends in this country that own real estate so I’ve been pretty much navigating this on my own for the past couple of months.
