Hello everyone, I will not be able to attend the REIA that was mentioned in this thread this time but would like to get involved in the future meetings.

@Denis M.

I have been involved in multiple situations that required it and it can be a long process. 

All of these different options involve taking different risk versus the projected return.

I’m not sure if that is doable since a bank is involved.

That it’s a sliding scale of passive versus completely involved. 

There will be MANY people involved, serving many different roles as you already know.My second piece of advice would be to find a property where you can force appreciaton & rents through capital expendetures. 

I know it’s not that simple, but I have no connections to anybody that is involved with rental properties or anybody that has financial freedom.

Hi,I moved to Jax last summer and have gotten involved in many real estate groups.Here are some to explore:https://www.facebook.com/yellowbirdconnect/Yellowbird runs a monthly meeting on the 1st Thu of the month, free event, lots of great networking.https://jaxreia.org/JaxReia is the oldest group here, has many meetings during the month. 

Navy federal approved me initially , but denied me and said they couldn’t because it’s a duplex and second home , which limits my opportunities in a way.
