I’ve always been interested in the industry, but I’m finally taking the first steps to learn about it seriously.My goal is to build up my knowledge and skills with the hope of eventually turning real estate into a full-time career.I’d really appreciate any tips, resources, or advice from those of you who’ve been doing this for a while — especially on how you got started, what to avoid, and what helped you most early on.Looking forward to learning from you all and hopefully contributing as I grow! 

Each member contributes at least $5K but can put in more.

@Matt John Based on the total project costs It appears you've satisfied the cash contribution requirement most lenders would look for through the land acquisition and permitting process.  

Looking forward to learning from everyone and contributing where I can.— Cade Ostenson

Structure it as an LLC (not a handshake).Form an LLC and have everyone listed as a member based on their contribution — whether that’s cash, credit, or sweat equity.

I’m looking forward to learning from everyone here and hopefully contributing where I can.

Also, it does not have a notion of portfolios - only property and unit. 

If any local investors, agents, or small teams could use help with their online presence, branding, or streamlining systems, I’d love to volunteer and support in any way I can.My goal is simple:➡️ Be around real investors, learn how deals actually work, and contribute value in return.➡️ Build relationships that help me grow while making your work easier.If you’re based around DFW and could use an extra pair of hands on the tech or marketing side, I’d love to connect, listen, and see how I can help.— ShahabIrving, TX

It’s important to remember that a credit score doesn’t always tell the full story of what’s on a credit report.Judgments and liens no longer appear on credit reports, but they still impact a person’s financial standing and contribute to a lower score.

If there is anything I can contribute or offer in exchange for some knowledge I am more than happy to chat and meet!
