I"m sure there are others that will chime in that have more experience.

Based on my experience, I strongly believe that investing in a Hollywood property with a pool can provide the best overall return on investment (ROI) and speculative value growth in the area.

Of course ordered cabinets are going to be much more, like $15k.I'd stay away from IKEA and any RTA type cabinets......based on my experience....

You can get your experience this way and you won't have to go far. 

It's great to hear about your experience with different rental platforms – Airbnb and Booking.com for short stays, and Furnished Finder for mid-term rentals.

Buy and hold in one of the A class areas in Baltimore, if you are going to do Baltimore, it’s the only part of the city that has growing population, and rehabs are extremely tough right now especially with no experience, I’m doing one right now on the eastern shore, basically cosmetic, was built in 1994, systems, plumbing etc in good shape, labor is even less than Baltimore, gc-ing myself, still running me 70k, materials are insane right 3bd 1ba, mid tier Lowe’s stuff (I’m even putting in a shower insert, no title) is running over 30k.

Usually, one party has more funds and the other party has the experience and time to be more hands on with the business. 

I don't recommend doing that so it is refreshing to see your post as you seek to learn from others experiences/mistakes.To read about success stories on BiggerPockets, click here.Lastly, I recommend getting out there and networking - BP meetups, Eventbrite and meetup.com are good places to search.

There’s about 5 scheduled and they want you to ask questions and share your experiences, which has been super helpful.Tomorrow I’ll call an investor who reached out to me when I joined the program because I want to start doing cold calls to a pre-foreclosures list I have.

If you can accept those terms and have the cash, it can be a quick way to get a property, but if you don't have experience, you'll likely get taken advantage of in some way.
