@Carlos Alvarado- have you considered renting out any of the rooms? Or is there a floor of the property that you can rent out? I would consider lowering your living cost first. Good luck!

@Reginald R Cloutier Jr- love that you are trying to network during the holidays! Go under the Network tab to Meetups. You should be able to find some to go to! Good luck!

Hi- @Carlos Ventura love it! If you are not already a part of local meet ups in your area, go join some! You will most definitely meet people with leads/ wholesalers at those. Good luck!

Hi @Eric Anderson- That is indeed very tough! I definitely understand you saying that you have a heart and you do not want to have to have him forced out of his home! Unfortunately, in this business you will often have situations like that as you are dealing with people. Is it possible for you to do a 6 month lease with the clear intention that you will not be renewing? This way he has ample time to find a new place. I would though, have him move out so you can continue with your business plan. Ultimately this is a business and we have to treat it as such, the fact that you even feel bad tells me that when you reach financial freedom you will help people with your money. We cannot however, get there if at every tough situation we compromise our business plan. Difficult, yes, however, you can help a lot more people once you get to where you need to be and handle situations without being completely heartless, such as giving him 6 months. I would, in the next situation that comes up, either put the rent at a price that you would need it to be at or just tell him that you do not want to renew at all. Good luck!

Hi @Gurleen B.- Amazing that you are getting started! It can be very intimidating to get started in real estate. So great that you are reaching out and looking for community! If you are not already listening to podcasts and reading REI books, I would definitely get immersed in those. Facts can help battle your doubts and fear when it comes to investing. Good luck!

Hi @Manuel A Zuaznabar- welcome! If you have not already started to meet with local investors at local meet ups, find one! That is also a great way to get immersed in your network. 

Hi @Israel Irizarry- congrats! Are you going to be renting out any part of the residence in order to offset the expense of living there? That is probably the biggest thing that I would recommend figuring out a way to do. Whether that's renting out a room or a whole floor. Good luck!

@Eric Prescott- Congrats! Thank you for sharing.

Hi @Inbar Moshkovitz! If you have not already, I would try the Network tab at the top of this page. I would also go to local meet-ups! They are great places to meet the above people that you mention that you are looking for! Good luck!

@Jacob Merold- Nice!! I love a good hoarder house flip!
