Far as a realtor I used Sherri Manning of Catskills Heritage Realty, you can google her, I highly recommend her.

If you do not believe, just google the term “Airbnb Rental Arbitrage”.

Google "hard money lender near me" and call a few of the ones with the best reviews.

When we started, I presented her with a power point of exactly what I'm looking for and I have a Google spreadsheet of properties that I share with her because I'm that nerd.I have been pre-approved certified for a loan. 

I would look into different grant opportunities where you live (google: "down payment assistance in *insert state*").

Also, google "REIA near me" and you can find additional meetups in your area as well.Would love to connect, and discuss further networking strategies.

This is multi-family, 1380 sqft, 3 story (grey house, orange door on google street view)...could be a nice  2-3 unit rental!

I hired them in part because of their good Google reviews, but today discovered they have an "F" rating with the BBB (I didn't even know the BBB was still a thing). 

I Googled  the name of the "real estate guru" and the word 'scam' and found a thread about him on Bigger Pockets.
