I remember 6 or 7 years ago, the hosts of the BiggerPockets podcast would encourage investors to go to local meetups to meet with other local investors to network and learn about real estate investing in their areas.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Specifically, I'm interested in exploring options that align with a 25% down payment and Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) loan.If you're a seasoned broker familiar with Birmingham real estate and have a track record of success with investment properties, I'd love to connect.

Do you currently own any real estate at the moment? 

The only real exception to that is contractors that have all their own subs, and the corporate homebuilders that bring in their own crews to do entire subdivisions.

I would bet that the majority of real estate investors have an equity portfolio where they have no clue about what the companies that they hold do or how they make money.  

We are real estate investors that primarily invest in commercial assets.

I detail a lot of this in my podcast I have been hosting for 7 years called The Investors Guide to Memphis Real Estate. 

We are the seller with many different lender resources that we share with our buyers.  

I would greatly appreciate any advice, experiences, or resources you could share to help me plan effectively.Thanks in advance for your help!
