Im really excited in starting my new investment path.

That career path is not my passion.

@Chukwudi Motanya try calling the local Chamber of Commerce. you will be surprise how helpful they could be, also ask them where is the path of progress and if they know of any new companies moving to town. 

Once you get ten mortgages, a possible path forward is aggregate those...see Corevest aggregate product.

I was wondering if anyone uses this strategy and if you have any advice/pro's/cons for choosing this path.

So my last piece of advice is that if you can't manage your money according to straightforward, wise principles, find someone to be with who will teach you.

@Sean Brennan Sounds like you have a good path laid out for yourself this time around.

Account Closed in order to do a 1031 RE exchange from say a SFR into a MFR, it needs to be done as a TIC or DST.Most large syndicators will not want to do a TIC as it introduces risk for the other LP investors.There are only a few syndicators who go down the DST path, as it too has its complication.So in general 1031 exchanges are not favored by most syndicators.

You're on the right path by attending local REI meetings.

I am on the path to a second property.
