Looking to grow my network & ultimately put togather my first personal investment property.

I am new to the real estate community, looking to learn more about and get involved with low or no money investing and then grow into other avenues of real estate investing.

At that point I will look for more creative solutions to continue growing my portfolio. 

@Ryan Busk I, too spent some time in Wenatchee growing up (6 years back in the 60's -pre McDonalds!)  

who are helping our members grow their portfolios (including me ^^)I've had personal talks with both @Joshua Dorkin and @Brandon Turner to help give me direction on how to grow this meetup, so it's not just advice on real estate investment that we've received, but also guidance on how to increase the reach of our networks.

I currently have one single family home in AZ that I bought a while ago (right after college before I knew it was a good investment) and I would like to do a 1031 into a larger multifam in LA and eventually grow that portfolio.

Furthermore, nowhere does it say that the mortgagee is responsible to arrange for the correct insurance to be put into place.2) Even if you are right, and the mortgagee is somehow responsible for your losses (which I doubt), it's likely going to cost you much more than $5K to fight this thing in court.So, while the excerpt you quoted certainly suggests that the mortgagee may have had a responsibility in this instance to which they did not live up, those responsibilities seem intended to protect the interests of the insurer, and this does not, in my opinion, hold them responsible for your losses. 

Hello, I'm Nicole & I'm new to the site...I've heard a lot about it & I'm eager to learn more, get advice & hopefully grow my business.  

@Dean HulsingOnce you understand the environment in which the business operates (local tenant population, average rents, physical and economic vacancy rates, the growth / decline of the local economy, the risk of the local economy (i.e. does most of the tenant population work for a single (cyclical, declining, growing) employer)), then you can compare the business (property) to its peers and evaluate its shortcomings and potential.After the above, you should be able to put a value on the business and, if it looks to be a profitable, long term venture, issue a Letter of Intent (LOI) with your offer and deal framework,  If accepted, you then dig-in and conduct the formal diligence.

For instance I pay my family very well for their small amount of time.
