@Nicholas L. Hey Nick thanks for the post. How do you find these deals or would you be willing to walk me through that? Thanks!

@Chris Seveney I am getting my real estate license and looking to utilize the income from that. I'd like to build an investment company and started the LLC. This was a future goal. For now, I am just networking and looking to get creative and potentially partner on some deals.

 Thanks for the reply. Do you have experience using PropStream? I'd love to discuss how you utilize this tool to secure deals off market. Thanks! 

Hey BP community,

I recently took a shot at getting pre-approved for a mortgage through a local lender — a friend of mine. Being a new entrepreneur with little to no provable income, I knew it was a long shot. Sure enough, I was denied for pre-approval.

That moment kicked off a wave of conversations around creative financing, and I started learning about strategies like seller financing, subject-to, and finding off-market deals. The challenge now is: how do I actually find these types of deals?

As someone brand new to the industry:

• Where do you even begin to find sellers open to creative terms?

• Are there specific lists, tools, or marketing methods that helped you early on?

• Has anyone here partnered with investor-friendly communities or individuals to help get that first property under their belt?

My personal goal is to own my first home (ideally a house hack or small multifamily) by the end of 2025. I’m committed to putting in the work — I just need some guidance on where to dig.

Thanks in advance for any advice. Grateful to be in this community as I navigate the early stages of my investing journey!

Hey BiggerPockets,

Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced a major mindset shift. I went from applying to job after job… to simply starting real conversations with people.

And let me tell you, it made all the difference.

We live in a time where access to information and people is literally at our fingertips. YouTube, LinkedIn, BiggerPockets-they’re not just platforms, they’re launchpads. But here’s what I’ve learned: if you’re not telling your story or asking the right questions, you’re leaving opportunity on the table.

A recent call with a mentor turned into a deep dive into real estate investing — something I never expected to pursue. That one conversation led to a community of investors who genuinely want to help others succeed. From there, things started to snowball.

Just last weekend, I found myself being a small engines mechanic (don’t ask), but it reminded me: if you’re willing to learn, you’ll go places you never thought possible.

This community has been a big part of that shift. The encouragement, transparency, and willingness to share — it’s rare and powerful.

So here’s my takeaway and challenge:
If you’re just getting started or feel stuck — stop trying to figure it all out alone.
✅ DM someone.
✅ Ask real questions.
✅ Offer value when you can.
✅ Stay curious.

Someone in this community might just have the insight or encouragement you’ve been waiting for.

Let’s keep building — together.

 Hey Mike, 

I would love to speak with you more on the model that I have invested in. The business involves the purchase and or renting of properties to Airbnb out to people. You are correct in that I am not involved in the direct purchasing and owning of the properties but I was able to negotiate some equity in the company. Let's connect. 

 Hey Rene,

I will keep you posted and provide updates as we make the journey. Thanks for the resource for Garrett on Instagram. I will follow him. My passion was always healthcare growing up so I’d love to find people in the mid-term rental space to help out as a starter and grow from there. I’d love to connect and get any advice you have. Have a blessed day. 

Best, 

Keegan  

 Hey Bryce,

Thanks for the advice. I will check out the resources you provided. Do you somewhere I can follow you and stay connected? Have a great day. 

Hey everyone,

I recently made the leap from a career path in medicine to real estate investing. My first opportunity came through a former colleague and mentor who co-owns a franchised Airbnb company based in Brazil.

It might sound unconventional—especially for someone with zero experience in real estate—but I saw it as the perfect entry point. This investment gives me the chance to learn through mentorship, gain exposure to the international short-term rental market, and contribute value from my background in sales by helping expand the business into the U.S.

Of course, there are risks and caveats with international investing, but I’m excited to be involved and eager to learn how returns play out. I’d love to connect with anyone who has experience in international real estate or franchised Airbnb models.

This first step is also motivating me to start investing locally here in the U.S.—I’m currently working on getting pre-approved for my first mortgage. Looking forward to learning from you all and seeing what kind of opportunities we can build together.
