The more people you meet the more you'll recognize the ones doing what you'd like to do and you can start learning to how to provide value to them / find them deals maybe.It's a tough market and unless you are providing value to an investor it's not going to be as easy as finding someone to shadow, i don't think.

@Rajesh Kasturi My favorite MTR market for cash flow AND appreciation is Portland, OR. 

I don't think there is a market for that personally. land development is done on a very local basis and isn't a service many CRE brokers use.

I've also loved learning about the other 10 markets we operate in.I have two big goals.

We’ve also done plenty of flips over the years, so we’re always happy to connect with fellow investors looking to grow their portfolios.Putnam County is a great market with some solid opportunities.

Best if the people you work with are in your area and know your market. 

FICO is 780+ and currently have 4 other investment properties including 2 STRs in the same market we are trying to close on in West Virginia.

I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

We have family teams in place in both markets of Texas & Virginia and source deals on/off market through agent referrals, cold calling motivated sellers and PPL.Well, if you get more deals than you can handle and they’re too good to be true I have a friend in San Antonio that buys properties I might could point you to. 😇 

Usually, a Sub-To deal has a better rate than the market rate and so does seller financing.
