Hey @Panetrick Gooden! Could you please clarify the question. Are you looking for investors to wholesale property you found to? Or are you looking for another investor to partner with on a property? Or is it something else entirely?

Also, it seems you are trying to do everything at once (buy&hold and flip SFH and MFH) while also having a full-time job. This could be difficult if you are just starting out. I recommend finding a niche and focusing on that. 

Hey @Trent Wyss, welcome to the BP community! 

Starting with a house-hack is a great way to go but don't be afraid to scale a little as you do so. For instance, instead of buying one a year and house hacking each one for the next three years maybe add another property or two every year along with the house-hacks? Just my two cents!

I am not in Illinois but feel free to shoot me a pm if you have any questions!

Hey @Jose Martinez! Welcome to the BP community! 

I would recommend attending some local meetings as @Sharnell Nelms mentioned. In my area I have found these on meetup.com but you can also use biggerpockets.com/events to find some. You now also have a huge network of like-minded people at your fingertips with biggerpockets so just dive into those forums and get involved!

@Andrew Evans yeah just shoot me a pm whenever you get a moment and we can talk, see what I can do for ya!

Hey @Megan Haimbaugh! Welcome to the BP community! We're stoked to have you!

Sounds like you're already on the right track and if networking is what you want, you are definitely in the right place. I, too, have recently taken the leap into full-time real estate (just as an investor though). Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

BTW sweet @Craig Curelop reference there;)

Hey @Andrew Evans. I am in the Atlanta area and have some free time on my hands. Feel free to reach out to me if you could use some boots on the ground. I don't have a ton of contacts here but I'd be happy to go check out the property/speak with your PM in person if you'd like. Just lemme know what I can do!

Hey @Richard Mai. First off, welcome to the BP community! That's pretty impressive that you've managed to save so much while in college (no loans right?). It's clear that you've got hustle, which is essential to getting started and excelling in REI.

First, what do you mean by "looking at the market?" There are tons of people investing in Oregon, Washington and California and absolutely killing it. If you are worried about not having enough cash to get started, then look into some creative financing methods. @Brandon Turner has a great book on this and there are several BP blog posts and podcasts regarding creative finance. 

Now to partner or turnkey? I'd say it depends on the numbers. Chances are you're not going to find a turnkey with decent returns. However, if you do, go for it! Partnering is one of the many creative finance options and is a great way to get started. Also, you can partner on a turnkey if you want so they are not mutually exclusive. 

Hey @Dj Hume. I may be interested. Feel free to shoot me a pm with more information if you're still looking for guinea pigs!

Wow @Brad Johnson, sounds like a sticky situation to me. But I think the best way to approach this would be talk to her about it and come to an agreement. If you just make the decision and tell her that's her only option she may resent you for it. 

@Seth Mceleney Where are you/the deal located? You never know who may see this post and say: "Hey that guy/deal is near me and I may like to join in on that deal. I should get in touch with him!"
