Hello - I work in and around the Philadelphia market and want to see if Bigger Pockets can help provide information and access to other, like-minded folks. 

Most of them have variations of the same program with the following elements: -Boo Hoo story and how they overcame-Education-FB Group-Weekly Q&A session-No direct access to Mentors-Recurring fee(s)I’ve thought about it, and I think what you’re talking about is a hybrid mentor-coach.

Right now, I'm focused on raising capital for multifamily deals—partnering with experienced operators and helping everyday investors (mostly people with W2s or some retirement savings) get access to real estate opportunities they might not know exist. 

You don’t need another eBook.

If someone represents themselves as private lenders, check them on NMLS consumer access to see if they are licensed.

What I have been doing is accessing the county tax accessors website for my area to see if the tax increases are consistent across the city not just in the area where my properties reside.

In either case, you should be able to access about 75-80% of the property FMV if it's currently free and clear. 

The 1031 allows you to move from any type of investment real estate anywhere in the US to any other type anywhere in the US,  and a 1031 gives you access to 100% of the equity instead of only 70-75% like a refinance.

The other option, get that realtor to pull the data off the MLS as they have access to it and will give you even more info for lot pricing for sales. 

Most property management software will include access to relatively generic, state-specific leases, but I highly recommend you take whatever lease you're starting with to an attorney, especially if you are operating out of California.
