I also spent a fair amount of time playing sports when I was younger, as well as have had private coaching related to sports training and fitness, so I understand good vs bad coaching.The various RE coaching programs I saw from the oustide-in (via my clients who were in them) were gurus and sharks with questionable experience/expertise who were charging more than $1k/month to basically answer questions via a phone call or offer a monthly/biweekly "mastermind".

Quote from @Ryan Oder: @Josh Havekost Bumping this thread as I'm in the same boat, and would be grateful if you can share more details. 

Rental Property Investor from Jacksonville, FLPREVIOUS POSTWhy I sold Cleveland.If you're a real estate podcast junkie like me, you definitely have noticed the clear shift towards real estate syndication in the multi-family space over the last couple of years especially.As deals became harder to find in single family and smaller multis across much of the desirable markets,the allure of pooling investor funds to acquire larger assets became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.Books that were mostly hurriedly written flooded the market pimping the upsides of this strategy.The argument for was simple and convincing:it is better to own 1% of a large deal than 0% of no deal.Personally,I could not help but notice that the popularity of the idea coincided with the rise of real estate crowdfunding.The likes of Realty Shares and Realty Mogul raised a bajillion dollars practically overnight making it very easy for everyday real estate aficionados to own small bites of a mega deal in rural Tennessee at the click of a mouse.A few of my friends experimented with the crowd-funding route, tossing $5000 into this debt offer and $10,000 into that equity offering.These punts yielded mixed results anecdotally, as an equal number seemed to have great experiences to share as did absolute nightmares.To be fair, no real estate niche is 100% fail-safe or iron clad.Money has been lost in a large single family portfolio as well as a personally purchased medium sized apartment complex.It is also certainly true that in the end, every investor will run out of money to invest in more properties if they decide to go it alone trying to rapidly scale up their portfolio, and real estate is most assuredly a team sport at all levels.

But I know I need more and to have the network offered as well as the encouragement. the boat club I joined:  yes.

Theme will be like an adventure cabin (we have biking, hiking, skiing boating etc).

i'm in the same boat....also has a florida deal in the works with title issues coincidentally. 

What creative lending options are available to make an offer on all 4, with minimal down, points up front, and get his boat moving?

Rv and boat storage "units" or even just spaces go for some pretty high monthly amounts.

I am currently in the same boat as you are, looking for my first investment property after graduating college.

What winter activites are there when the boats come out?
