I've been learning about investing in apartments over the last 5 months and picked up some mentors who invest in different capacities.

I ask because I have family that owns in Hawaii and switched gears and started buying in Florida due to the better puchase prices and Short term rental markets picking up. 

Would love to pick your brain on good contractors, CPAs, Property Managers, etc.

Start with a tiny win you can control: pick one neighborhood, one property type, and one rehab level you’ll touch, then run noise-to-numbers on 20 deals and make 2–3 offers this week.

You'll start to pick up on things, build a business, become a pro at running numbers, etc.

Over time, we leveraged equity through refinances and expanded into Florida, picking up a few more doors there.Today, my wife and I are back in Idaho with 10 properties, 12 rental doors, and cash flow that exceeds six figures annually.

I just thought I would post the link to the sale section rather than picking and choosing what I thought was the better deals. 

Pick a market2.

Creative structures like seller carry or JV partnerships are also picking up — they’re great tools when used on the right projects.Overall, access to capital is still there, but it’s definitely favoring experienced investors who bring solid numbers and a clear exit plan.
