Would love some advice if anyone has any experience in this.

My hope in joining this community is to learn more from others with experience, get a better understanding of the real estate / rental market as a whole, learn best practices when considering an investment property, get recommendations on educational material, and make professional connections along the way.

I can totally relate; I had a similar experience a while back.

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I've been consuming a lot of content from the BiggerPockets books and website recently, especially about networking and building your team, but until now I feel like I am stuck with a chicken-or-egg problem: How do you start building your REI network if you have limited experience and resources?

I manage around 400 rentals with 14 years of experience and have never been sued once.

Hello Jerry, I want to preface by saying that I am not a CPA and that you should definitely have a CPA with experience in RE because they would be able to answer these questions.

I am inclined towards investing in Retails spaces.I am new to this space and would love to get pointers on how to get started, how to find RE agents, any gotchas or considerations for new investors.
