And first, I would say you don't want to try to learn. 10 or 15 different markets, I submit.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

If I tried to start today with the same funds I had back in 2018 I would probably own about 10 doors.In my opinion, it is really not a great time to be getting real estate (broadly speaking) - which when you think about it is the whole reason why the Fed cranked up rates - to slow down the economy, inflation, housing sales & price increases, etc.   

It's still worth a try if you can find it.Also, I love househacking too.

Try Harlan and Associates.

There are some "lenders" out there who "do" incredibly high leverage or 100% financing, but be wary of these as they often try to renegotiate terms before closing/run out of capital/go bankrupt.

I've had countless conversations with heirs who spent a long time trying to figure out how to make money off of land or buildings, but without experience, and never got anywhere a year later.

I am a new investor with a real estate background, I am trying to navigate private funding and a strategy to get into the market.

I moved in with my fiancé and have renters in my house, and trying to get a heloc for a down payment to get to a second rental investment.  

Trying to establish my team so any recommendations for realtors, contractors, lenders, etc will be appreciated!
