Have you joined a networking or mastermind group in your local area? You can meet a lot of syndicators if you can attend events like the Best ever conference or from these guys https://realestateguysradio.com/events/.

Travis,
For the book, I recommend "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller and "The Real estate Syndication show" podcast by Whitney Sewell. (https://lifebridgecapital.com/podcast/) They have a lot of great guests lined up and topics about REI basics to help you out. Best of luck to you and happy investing!

You may already have the skills that you need, you just have to move on to those goals, first thing I look at is what action can I take today to make that ball move forward in just a tiny bit. Over time these small increments amount to something large and sometimes unbelievable.

Best of luck to you, and happy investing!

Here's what I've learned:

√ If the deal is right, pay up and shut up. I’ve seen too many people trying to negotiate small amounts of money and lose deals that were the right fit for them. Ultimately there will be some regrets trying to shed a nickel here and there.

√ Leverage offsite professionals early on to grow your business. It took us a while to delegate menial tasks that are eating up our time. Having an offsite professional on your team allows you to be more productive and focus on high-value tasks and gives you more freedom with your time!

Join us in person as we host Zach Berkompas from Leadsimple as we explore process automation, client retention, and how to organize your systems effectively and efficiently.

Stewart,

I agree that the Portland market is one of the hottest markets out there, with the prices soaring up, but I am a huge fan of the Portland area for investment in real estate regardless of the "affordability". Portland is a "hybrid" market because you can still find deals that will produce positive cash flow and still get to benefit from the great appreciation that we have here! The play in Portland at the moment is long-term growth through appreciation. As a local multifamily investor myself, I highly recommend finding a deal here and not regret looking back 5 years from now saying I wish I bought a property then.
