Find an agent that participates on Bigger Pockets and understands investment strategies and how to evaluate properties (run the numbers).

So, I definitely want to get them into 1st time Home-buyer Entry Level Markets that are not War-Zones.So I've started to comb Wikipedia, http://www.altosresearch.com/ (paid)http://www.neighborhoodscout.com (paid)http://www.bestplaces.net/In search of data, and I'm still learning how to decipher through the data to make it applicable to my investment strategyOnce I get the first of my 2 strategies built solid enough, I want to start participating in note creation/selling.I hope thats enough information, How about yourself?

At the very least, as you participate on the site, we'll start to find it easier to follow you.

These can throw off even more cash than lending, but require active participation (in many cases), as well as some knowledge/experience.There are other strategies as well, I'm sure, but those are outside my area of expertise.In terms of flipping commercial, are you talking apartment buildings or true commercial property?

My goal is to spend more quality time with my family and participate in all of their extracurricular activities.

If any of you are participating in similar programs, please provide feedback on your experiences.

With multiple investors it becomes more complicated and you want to make sure the investors have the capacity to vote you out if things go sideways and actively participate in decision making.

Hi Joel, This is my first post here, I lurk alot but was encouraged to post by a post about participation earlier today and your post.

There is lots of participation by the members who provide sound advice.

Is there a Linked In group those type buyers participate in?
