Myself and a partner have a potential opportunity for a spec build, and I am trying to run numbers for the proposal.

Plus 99% of my headaches came from those buildings.

Id love to get to know and build relationships with a mentor.I have organized my weekdays in a way where I can spend 2/3 hrs after my 10hr shift to learn real estate.

You do not need a LLC for every property unless they are large multifamily assets in different locationsFor example worked with a company that had 5 buildings and 1300 units under one LLC.

@Kermaury Musgrove  I started investing back in 2010, but it was after I had worked with 50-60 investors and I had seen them successfully buy, rehab, and rent properties before I build up the confidence to try it out for myself. 

I'm housewife taking care of our child and rental properties.We have 5 SFR and one apartment building out of state, managed by PM. 

Your Network = Your Net-worth"Been watching Evernest's video's and they share a ton on "everything and anything" property management related so that's been a blessing.Biggest take away when it comes to scaling a PM is to spread the word about what you're looking at doing and to build relationships.Local real estate events, NARPM, IMN, etc...You want everyone to think of you if they are looking at selling or if they know of anyone looking at selling.I use to be "loud and proud" and a huge extrovert but I guess "old age" has got me hahaI prefer drinking coffee and smoking a cigar behind closed doors.But, I guess I'll have to start "shaking hands" and "kissing babies" like a president when it comes to networking again lolMaybe even do a few video's while not wearing any pants heheBig hat's down to Matthew Whitaker for scaling the business so much.I remember spending some time together in Birmingham when he had a decent sized operation of around 1,200 units or so.Now they are 16,000+ 👏HUGE...We initially met as I was interested in selling our property management company in Toledo and now we are looking at acquiring others heheTime flies, things change and life is funny.Thanks everyone for your contribution and wishing you much success

There are good mentorships/coaching/classes and bad ones so you never really know, but the honest truth is that even in the bad ones, if you do the work and build relationships with other students, you will probably crush.

FINAL NUMBERS:- Projected Costs: $380k ($357k in build cost & $23k in soft costs)- Actual Costs: $389k ($369k in build cost $20k in soft costs)Note: We had very minimal carrying costs because we utilized a CA HELOC with Premier Valley Bank that had a 2.99% introductory interest rate.- Projected Finished Value: $750k- Actual Finish Value: I think between $800-$850k, not sure yet.

House hacking a duplex or fourplex can be a fantastic way to start building wealth through real estate while minimizing your housing expenses.To invest in real estate, define your investment goals, research potential markets, network with local investors, analyze properties, consider financing options, and perform due diligence.
