But I'm open to learning other methods, too: flipping & wholesales, short sales, etc.I look forward to learning from all of you and then hopefully putting that knowledge to work.

That way you have more knowledge.2.

A broker/ agent needs to increase their worth through knowledge, connections, and inventory.

I'm open to partnering in co-wholesaling situation as well.I'm excited to connect with all the knowledgeable folks on this site.

So, check out tenants closely and markets closer.I suggest you assume nothing, hope for the best and rely only on what you can verify.To my knowledge, seems the two areas you have mentioned haven't been areas of any real issue, prices and markets are rather stable. :)

I understand about bringing value and with my extensive knowledge of investing in the financial markets, I think I could help a savvy investor and offer a lot of information, but I feel like because of my young age and inexperience I will be highly doubted and criticized.

Ive been really interested in learning more about REAL ESTATE for about 3 years now but with all the clutterness i had, i never had the time to expand my knowledge.

Per his information he does 20-30% cash returns on 40 and 75 units he bough over the last 2 years.Such a high units count is totally new area of knowledge for me.

Depending on your experience level though it might make sense to flip 2-3 houses first to understand how to deal with contractors, lawyers, lenders, agents, etc when the stakes are lower.Even though apartments are commercial properties, getting some of the basics under your belt will result in 2 key benefits:You will have a good idea of estimates for normal repairs to the units and can better understand what properties will take once you purchase them to bring them up to your desired standard for the area.Your potential investors might have more faith in your performance if you have some other investing experience under your belt - might even want to consider getting 1-2 rentals to help with this "resume building" if you are going for a number of investors that may not have personal knowledge of your capabilities. .

I think real estate sales will help satisfy some of that and at the same time build my knowledge base... and the networking will be great too!
