@Idi Polanco Other than learning the markets you want to work, you must also network your butt off.  Once the world returns to normal, you definitely need to attend all of your local real estate meetups.  And continue connecting with people here on BP.

@Joe Mastracchio Congrats on taking the plunge into real estate investing.  I can't really speak on owner builder permits as every area has different rules when it comes to that.  But regards to financing, hard money lenders are definitely an option.  And expect to put up 10% to 20% of the acquisition cost at minimum.  But you definitely need to call around.  You can also use private lenders.  It does take time to build those relationships with private individuals.  However, real estate is a contact sport and you have to network with as many people as possible.  You never know who has some capital that needs to be invested.  Wish you all the best!!
