It was fantastic for networkingI don’t know for sure, but it seems like at around the same time that BiggerPockets started hosting its own conferences and advertising boot camps and such that it became harder and harder to find where on the website that you could find local meetups.This morning I searched the website to try to find where local meetups were posted on the website and it took me between 5 and 10 minutes to find it.

I was recently referred to LendingOne by a fellow investor and just wanted to share my experience thus far as I feel there's a lot of marketing bait and switch happening with lenders that advertise terms and loan structures...Our past and current project:  We do buy-rehab-refi-hold (airbnb) rentals, not regular rehab flips.First off let me start with the things I think LendingOne excels at:Nice dashboard to upload and store all your documents to track how the loan process is coming along. 

This is the perfect place to start learning and building connections for your real estate journey.

Hey Hughston, start by connecting with the locals in your chosen market.

Wow, wish you had started this in San Diego.

Eventually their rentals will start to turn a taxable profit and those losses can be “unsuspended”.  

As such, I just enrolled in the program and am starting tomorrow.

Basically if you're in the upper credit tier it's not too difficult, and no sense in paying someone to do it.Regarding the company, I've been following the misc posts for a while, everyone does say starting out it uses your personal credit to start, then they open business lines.Personally for RE, I don't see it as a great model. 

I can't decide if I want to pursue a lawsuit for them to turn water back on (and possibly lose) or if I want to eat the money for several months and hope there's water below me.

I would start pitching to friends and family and then join a local RE meetup group to get to know people.
