It wasn't usually him giving us information but him connecting us with resources, more experienced investors, basically him teaching us how to fish.

@Russell Brazil Thank you for The tip

@Jason Hill thank you for the tip as well

Tim is a great resource on lending and mortgage information and has been a great help to me.To see my project search Investa-brothel on bigger pockets....

As we look to acquire our first property together, I wanted to know if anyone had tips or suggestions on how we can go about to get our next property.  

I do wish that I had his resource 5 years ago and maybe I would not have made the same mistakes that I made in the early goings.

Any tips that I would need to know before buying this.

Some examples of bigger ones are Bremer Bank, Sunrise Bank, Deerwood Bank, BMO Harris Bank, First National Bank Hastings, Community Resource Group & Citizens State Bank, but there are hundreds more.I just want to be clear that I would not chase the LLC designation to get the property into an LLC. 

But thank you for the tip and hope you get your money back 

I worked several side jobs to supplement my writing income, paid my half of our college-age children’s tuition and medical expenses, bought a Yaris, and lived frugally.
