This is one of the many reasons I will no longer self manage my properties. I know I am way to soft with my tenants, in always trying to come up with a solutionto their problem. And I know there will always be one sob story or another. With a PM, there is a degree of separation and I won't be tempted to "help them out".

Good luck to you,

Hi Felicia,

I was in a similar situation in 2019. 620 credit score and $40,000 in credit card debt and almost maxed limits. Now my score is 800 and I carry less than $1000 balance on my credit cards. I knew I had to fix this situation before I could get serious about real estate investing.

Do you have a plan to improve your credit score? If not, work with someone that can help you. It's highly recommended in this business to have good credit.

Good luck to you!

Hi, I have recently landed in a position where I am able to work on my dream and build my retirement, by getting back into real estate investing. My goal is to build a BRRR portfolio, but I need to build up my cash reserve so I was going to fix n flip in the mean time. But I'm also learning about OPM. I have some contacts for private and hard money lenders, that I got from my local REI meetings, but I haven't reached out yet because I don't have a property to pitch them at this time. Or should I connect first with lenders before finding property?

Thanks,

@Tim Giberson. Hi Tim, I'm interested in joining your newbie group. Thanks for doing this. -D

@Dylan Bond - interested in getting in on this. I've previously had rental property but getting back into the game with new focus and drive and would love to meet more like minded people. Let's connect.

@Sagar Patel - I'm in St. Charles as well. Looks like you got some good responses. We could do a mini st. Charles meet-up with all responders to get us all together and brainstorm networking options. I'm in.

@Joe S. - ask for and check references of recent jobs. Make that a requirement in your post.
