Atlanta/Macon/WarnerRobbins - Where to Start, Who can help?
My wife and I are wanting to begin acquiring some rentals but need some guidance. We have been to previous REI meetings when we were in another state but really didn't see much value from that at the time. Lots of bad advice, lots of inexperienced people or shady characters. Because of this, we are not looking to pay for a "mentor" "coach" "training" etc. but want to talk with someone willing to spend a bit of time to answer a few questions, guide us on next steps, etc. What should we do next? Talk to a RE Agent, banker, hard money lender, etc? How do we find trustworthy folks to talk with about investing (other than BiggerPockets)?
We are not looking for any "offers" "great deals" or anything else anyone is selling right now. We have just about read too many articles, posts, etc. to drive us crazy. We need to take the next step and need to really understand our options (risk/effort/reward).
