Hi everyone,Is it possible to take out one loan secured by multiple properties, with better terms than getting 4–5 separate loans?

I like books as a tool for learning vs YouTube as you can learn about more of one given topic without getting distracted but you can also partner with local flippers offer to work for them in exchange for info many need help managing multiple projects or help with their back end part of their businessTo learn buy and hold cold call landlords who list their properties as for rent by owner offer to work for them in exchange for knowledge.

That helps build out the vendor network fast with people who are already used to working together.If you’re in multiple markets, try keeping a shared vendor list and tagging who referred them, what projects they’ve done, and how they did—helps a lot down the line.Looking forward to learning from your experience too!

Life happens, and the fact that you’re still here, still learning, and now ready to re-engage says a lot about your drive and commitment.Quick perspective on your situation:* You’ve done something most people haven’t - taken initiative by signing up for a bootcamp and starting the education process.* Being in a high-cost-of-living (HCOL) area like North Jersey (I'm actually from Morris County originally) makes out-of-state investing a smart and often necessary move.* Wanting a connection to your market is totally natural, but don’t let it paralyze your momentum.

When hiring a contractor, get multiple quotes and check references to make sure you're getting quality work.
