@Eric Hawkes Hey Eric - My first three steps would be:1) Choose a mentor - Find someone that you think you can align with and lean in on for questions because you will have many.

I've found the most valuable time at these things is actually after the session closes, when general networking time opens up.

Keep it up until you can invest in the 506c offerings.I watched this video from a mentor this morning and it's sooo great.Grant's Financial Plan for MillennialsKeep educating yourselfGet a great networkSave 40% of your incomeSpend money on income producing assets

You DON'T have to start small, you can start big, but it is important to have a mentor or coach guiding you through the process!

So I retook the course and this time I took thorough notes, listened to call sessions, and just immersed myself in every piece of content. 

Worked with a professional, or mentor, you must remember your a rookie not an expert just yet.

This has definitely been a rollercoaster, and I've been ready to pull the plug several times, but then new, favorable information would come to light and the plug stayed put :) I was very fortunate to pick up a partner with multi-family experience who is serving as an advisor and mentor, and he has been awesome.  

Being completely new to the world of real estate investing, I would love to find a mentor or partner that I can work with and learn from.

To me that makes sense - return on the $20K and learning from a mentor.

To start out I am doing this as a personal exercise to learn how to do these types of deals for the future, currently I have not yet done a deal of this size. Please help me improve.Unit Mix Information ...
