Welcome to BP and congrats on taking a great first step. 

If anyone can share tips, recommended steps, or lessons learned—from deal finding, analyzing, running comps, budgeting rehab, to building a local team—we’d really appreciate it. 

Looking to use hard money loans to purchase properties,  using the fix and  flip method for the 1st few properties to build cash reserves. 

So far, I have done the following methods to try and network:- gone to realtor offices around my town and letting them know I'm an investor and gave them my buy box.

The worst they can say is no, but if they are interested in assisting and being a high-quality company, they will step up and help due to an error. 

I decided to take the first step and I'm willing to help investors with their business.

Lenders - You will need a lender on your BUY step and on your REFINANCE step.

@Dylan KitzingerWelcome — underwriting can feel overwhelming at first.I spend a lot of time underwriting deals and breaking them down step by step, and what helped me most early on was focusing on conservative rent assumptions, realistic expenses, and seeing if a deal still works at today’s rates before thinking about upside.If it helps, I’m happy to outline a simple step-by-step way I approach underwriting.

Not the experience that we want to create, but I'm tempted as a stepping stone. 

Big congrats on launching your investing business, that’s a huge step.
