Speaking to individuals who have experienced the type of investing your looking to do is key. 

I would never EMD funds into any of my business or personal accounts - I know for licensed individuals in Nevada that it is expressly illegal and I'm guessing that it poses a problem for non-licensed individuals as well (commingling funds).

Accountant—CPA who is aware of the ins and outs of real estate and preferably owns rental properties.Insurance agent—someone who is local and can help get the best possible insurance for each individual transaction.Contractor-- someone who gets things done on time and under budget.

I understand with a seller's market deals will be hard to come by and margins may be smaller but I am sure if I network with like minded individuals it is possible.  

In addition, use the BP Networking > Meet link to connect with members and network with individuals whose goals align closely with what you are looking for..Anyways Good Luck and hopefully meet you in the near future. 

Buy in "B" neighborhoods (there are only a handful where I live and inventory sucks.)Is it best to have a portfolio sale or sell off individually?  

After a while, I could not find a title company in the City of Chicago that would do this type of deal, even after I restructured things.Not to long after that, FULL DISCLOSURE was required in Illinois for these types of deals.Trust me, whenever the "authorities" realize that individuals are making an easy killing, they change the rules of the game. 

Excited to connect with like-minded individuals that are motivated and driven like my self to succeed and really make a name for them selves.

I actually started with my first studio purchase in Manhattan in 2009 and have been able to flip up quite substantially. 

I would now like to network with fellow ambitious individuals who are ready to WORK.
