@Riley Johnson have you discussed that with the family involved? 

For us, walking into an office, making eye contact, and a firm handshake - isn't at all what it takes to find quality employment for a lot of younger guys. 

Keep an eye out for properties you can run mock analyses on to understand whether the deals in your area make sense.

I know people are making money this way but dealing with 4-6 tenants in one property with the time involved, refereeing and legal implications make it a non-start for me actually on either side of the coin.

Heck, I had to fill out a 2 page form and pass an eye exam last week at the DPS to renew my driver's license. sorry just venting now

Even when leverage or short-term capital is involved, having cash reserves gives you flexibility when timelines stretch or surprises come up.A few practical thoughts that may help:Funding: Focus on understanding your total cash-in — purchase, rehab, carry, and reserves.

Hey everyone,I’m NYC-based and looking to connect with general contractors and home inspectors who regularly work with BRRRR investors across Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.Not pitching anything here — I’m interested in building relationships and learning from professionals who are actively involved in value-add rehabs, refinancing projects, and long-term hold strategies in the city.If you’re a GC or inspector frequently working on BRRRR projects (or an investor with trusted vendors you like), I’d love to connect and exchange perspectives on rehab scopes, timelines, and what you’re seeing on the ground in today’s market.Feel free to comment or DM if you’re open to connecting.

A big part of what I do involves connecting investors to the resources available here in Pittsburgh and coming across a steady flow of off-market opportunities each month, which has given me a pretty good pulse on how different neighborhoods and strategies are performing.

Most importantly, since you can’t regularly be there in-person, can you trust them to be your eyes and ears?

Networking will fast forward your education, help you to build a team and mentors and open your eyes to the many possibilities that real estate has to offer.
