So if I do a couple deals with either FHA or a DSCR or something more up that alley… the more likely I will be in the future to qualify for deals that are more structured with OPM/private money/hard money?

Along my journey to understand how to acquire my first property, I have encountered people that swear it’s possible to use other people’s money (for down payment, closing cost, rehabs etc) but on the other hand I have investors of 20,30,40+ years who think I am absolutely nuts for even thinking it’s real & make it very clear that I am an idiot for ever believing such a thing and will 100% need to come up with my own funds. So I am confused. Is there anyone who can prove or disprove this with their own experience? I have no idea who to follow guidance from and don’t want to get burned.

I am seeking someone to help me one on one to understand deal analysis & using the bigger pockets calculators! I have been messing around with them and trying to understand markets, numbers, fees, down payments, percentages, etc etc etc etc but as a newbie I would really appreciate if someone could help coach me through this so I don't practice bad habits, continually make mistakes and come up with numbers that aren't even true. I so badly want to be able to find good deals on my own so I can take the next step to finding a lender, but I can't begin to do that if I cannot do the calculations properly enough to give a lender an accurate write up. If anyone can find it in their heart to take some time out of their day to help teach me how to do this I would greatly appreciate it. I want it to make sense to me soooo badly, but things just aren't clicking the more I try and teach it to myself. I need a mentor! 
Thank you! 

bonus points if you are local to the Worcester,MA/Fitchburg,MA/Gardner,MA area and could even meet up and do this in person haha otherwise, any help from anywhere is fine by me :)

My mentor was 3 states away and I learned on a one on one basis more than I would have if I had joined a local group. Don't sell short having a good mentor who will take you through step by step regardless of where they are located.

well, whats up then? How many states away from Massachusetts are you?! hahahaha I am more than happy to have any sort of mentorship, no matter the distance as I said. It would obviously be nice to have someone I can meet in person and someone who knew the markets out here and what not, but I am absolutely not closed to the idea of a mentor from anywhere. 

I'm actually mentopring people in Idaho, California, Texas, Arizona, Georgia and Arkansas but BP requires that you DM me for information. They don't allow us to say anything more than that in the forums. 

 I think I sent you a request. I’m still trying to figure out how to do that, so if I didn’t feel free to send me a request if you’d like.

Hey everyone, I am curious if anyone has experience with section 8 properties and can advise me on how to get into the space and do things right.

Hello Jacqueline,

My name is James Brown (hahahaha...not related to the late great Godfather of Soul), and I am a first time real estate investor from Massachusetts as well. I reside in Taunton which is about 1.5 hrs outside of Gardner. I have 25K I am looking to put into a Fix and Flip or possibly a BRRRR. Unfortunately, I am a complete novice when it comes to Fix and Flips.

However, I have a great real estate agent who has been sending me listings of potential Fix and Flip opportunities in Mass. Like you, I am looking for people to partner with who may have experience in Fix & Flips that can be a great resource. You seem like someone with the same mindset, and drive that would be a good partner to achieve a common goal. 

 I guess it’s against the rules to exchange contact information on this platform? Which is interesting haha are we suppose to just do our business right here for everyone to see? 🤔
