@Rebecca Speeks,

Welcome to BP and congrats on diving in! The fact that you’re already enrolled in a program and looking for mentoring and partnerships shows you’re taking action, which is huge.

My advice would be to use this community the same way you’d use a mentor: ask specific questions, share your numbers, and don’t be afraid to learn from other people’s wins and mistakes. You’ll get a wide range of perspectives here.

If you’re still hunting for your first opportunity, you might want to explore markets where the entry price is lower, but cash flow is stronger - often in the Midwest and Southeast. Turnkey rentals and new builds in those areas can be a great way to start since they come with property management already in place, which lets you focus on learning strategy and scaling without being bogged down in the day-to-day.

Excited to see where your journey takes you - this is definitely the right community to grow in! Always happy to share what is working for other investors and specific market info. Best of luck!
