Additionally, participating in local real estate investor meetings can connect you with experienced investors for guidance and potential partnerships.Building relationships within the industry can often be as educational as formal training.

This means you can focus on growing your portfolio with confidence, knowing that every aspect of your investment is being handled by experts.As for my experience, I've been in the industry for over 10 years. 

When I was working in the corporate industry, I began investing in real estate.

In 2022 following massive industry changes, on the heels of COVID, I decided to pursue opportunities that would give me the ability to travel a bit.

When I left the payments industry back in 2000, I kept watching the market for a method of performing a micro transaction.  

Currently, I'm focused on selling new construction duplexes in downtown Indianapolis, which offer great potential for long-term investment.While I'm still relatively new to the industry, I've found that consistency and reliability often trump the allure of high-risk, high-reward strategies.

They have been approved for a single family home Fannie loan (cannot do FHA because my husband works in the Cannabis Industry and the gov't will not allow).

I have been working as a Mercedes-Benz Technician for over a decade now and I feel my earning potential has capped, especially with how the industry has changed for technicians over the years.

Several of our out of state investor clients are securing very healthy terms on CRE including apartment complexes and industrial warehouse spaces with as little as 25% down and rates currently ranging from 5.5-%-6.75% on 25 year amortizations. 

starting by just brokering loans is a good way to start in states that do not require a license.. raising capital from private investors to make loans is a long process And very difficult if you do not have a long track record or pedigree in the industry.. if someone is brand new they really need to go work for a lender first.. other wise IMHO the chance of success is very small.
