You can start with reading his books (Multifamily Millions) and go to a local seminar when they are in town.

Excited to get started with real estate investing and network with likeminded people. 

@Kalli WilkensWelcome, BP is a great place to get started!

Thank you in advanceI started my career in RE, by working for an investor that was looking for a specific type of property.

Started out as a total newbie a few years ago.

Approx 5 years ago, I started managing a Section 8 property that the tenant had sublet to someone they didn't even know for more rent then the Housing Authority was paying. 

Hey BP,So I had my first fire in one of my rentals.

I just had one of my tenants set one of my houses on fire, major damage but not a total loss.

I believe they start in the high 9's currently. you wont get to your $20k out of pocket target on this scenario specifically, but the point is, there are some lenders which will work with out of the box deal structure (for a premium).

Only way to find out is to start calling and reaching out
