Thanks so much — this is super helpful! Memphis sounds like a strong fit, especially with the in-house team model and lower entry point. I’d definitely be open to learning how other new investors are getting started there safely. I really appreciate you sharing this — it’s giving me a lot to think about as I plan my next steps!

@Tenzapa Wakombe 

I really appreciate this perspective — especially the reminder that Real Wealth is a marketing platform, not the operator. That definitely helps reframe how I approach them. I’m taking your advice to heart about being selective and not rushing in just to get started. Slow and smart wins. Thanks again!

@Todd Anderson 

Thanks so much for the warm welcome and thoughtful advice! I really appreciate you breaking it down — especially the point about not all turnkey providers being the same. I’ll definitely take time to compare deals and make sure the market and structure align with my long-term goals. I may reach out soon to connect further. Thanks again!

@Kasi V. 

Thanks so much for the insight! I really appreciate the reminder to run my own numbers and focus on cash flow and CoC. I may take you up on the DM soon once I dive a little deeper. Appreciate you!

Hey BiggerPockets community!

I’m currently based in Los Angeles and planning to move within the next year to either Charlotte, Tennessee, or Texas. As part of preparing for that transition, I’ve been researching ways to start investing in real estate now to build momentum before the move.

I recently came across a video about Real Wealth Network on YouTube. It sounds like they help newer investors, out-of-state buyers, and busy professionals (like me) find turnkey properties with property management already in place.

I’m wondering — has anyone here actually invested their own money with Real Wealth Network? What was your experience like? Would you recommend them for someone just getting their feet wet?

Also, I currently have about $20K to invest. Would love to hear your advice on the smartest way to deploy that into real estate, especially as a first investment while still living in California.

Thanks so much in advance for any insights or advice you can share!

@Joe Homs Thanks for the insight Joe. That makes sense and definitely did not know that.   I found out that the land is leased so like you said, it's not worth my time. 

Hello,

I'm curious to know if anyone has invested in a mobile home in Torrance, California. These homes are around my price range for 60,000 -80,000 as an new investor so would like to know your thoughts.  Any advice that you could give as an a investor in a mobile home or someone who almost invested in a mobile home in this area, but back out I would like to hear from your experiences.

Thanks!

@James Carlson Thanks for the insight James. Right now a conventional loan would be out of the question do to my student loans and credit score. I'm looking at a partnership or private loan or some other creative financing.

@Forrest Faulconer Hey Forrest, thanks for responding. The answer to your first question, if I can can have both that would be great! But, if I can find the best deal that would make up for the travel, I guess that's even better.  If you don't mind sharing, what areas or pockets in Oklahoma do you recommend for me to look at properties?

@Don Spafford Thanks for the insight Don. A 10% down payment sounds good. What are the contingencies for the down payment?  Also, I just sent you a request so I can PM you.
