Doesn't seem to be the typical Buddy Boss or Buddy Press platforms.

I am brand new here and truly to real estate investing. 

This time around I wanted to do traditional real estate and learn all all I can to work with investors and invest in real estate for myself.

Typically there is a metal plate between concrete and raw wood to avoid the rot.

Personally, I would not invest in Nicaragua. 

Where are you investing from?

Congrats, what are your real estate investment goals?

You can upload a photo of yourself to say hello, you can write a quick intro, and then you can see boxes when you scroll down on the left that when you click will allow you to add your company information, and it's always nice if you've invested in real estate in the past to put information about the deals you've done so people know what experience you have!

It's typically not advised to use a HELOC for long term assets unless you are getting a ridiculous return

I think the most efficient way to build your team is by finding a solid investment focused agent and then having them guide you to the right connections for the other contacts needed.
