I am also trying to build the network of private investors and commercial lenders so I can hit the ground running when I hit the 10 property cap.

Hey @Eric Kordenbrock, I'm based out of Northern VA so not much help from the PM side unfortunately.However, Two ways to start building the network that worked. #1 REI / BP Meetup groups in your area should be pretty well established. #2 If you need an attorney now and professor google just isn't doing it.

I would also suggest hitting up a local meet up here in Hawaii before you go so that you can talk with more folks about what they are doing with their investing and ask more questions. 

Hit the Podcasts, forums and various blog posts.

I was just looking at this company and as soon as I saw they were affiliated with Midwest Corp I hit that exit button.

I have been a Realtor in Northern Virginia for 27 years and lived in Vienna a little longer than that. 

I think you hit the nail on the head.

Hit send here before I asked this:  What kind of renters are renting these 4 bedroom houses in your area?  

Or do you want to be "the shark" - hitting the streets looking for owners who want/need to sell cheap and fast and to resell the properties for a quick profit?

Also, Dyland hit the nail on the head with the "time to buy."
