I’ve seen many people get creative offering many projects like car washes, propane, u haul rentals, food, etc.

Even in a mediocre market, if you have a great agent and a great PM, you will outperform a great market with a mediocre PM and agent.That's also why I think it makes no sense to invest in 17 different markets: you don't know much about any of them, you have to build a network of people in every market, the law is different in every State and it's physically/economically impossible to visit any. (1-4 units anyway, large commercial is different). 

They generally don't want people to feel taken advantage of dealing with someone who has training without realizing it. 3.

I just started in that market (nothing bought yet but actively seeking my first one now) A few of the people I will mention have already posted here but I will mention them and I believe they can be of great help to you.

Common sense from most people would be to pay off the credit card, and maybe pay down the car.

In 2021 and early 2022, you saw a lot of people just like yourself getting excited about real estate and capitalizing on the "easy money" in the economy and investor desire to get into real estate.  

I recently purchased a two unit duplex about a month ago and I’m looking to connect with as many people as possible in real estate investing, property management and the making of a landlord.

From all I read, that's the natural evolution of people's RE investment journeys. 

I also have to mentioned that the biggest advantage of using AI is for internal company usage, especially in a companies where it has multiple product, multiple supplier , or producing very competitive product ; company like home depot , medical device or even Adobe, can really make killing productivity by leveraging AI.For people in tech, the ability of AI to generate a code , a database or to articulate complex system , is very valuable.I have been moving from search engine to AI too in last few months and result was great.

💪 So a few other people and myself were laid off.Now, onto the next adventure: real estate, baby!
