It's very frustrating, because I've seen two new "gurus" teaching novations and wholesaling on TikTok and they are creating an illusion of what investors really are.

And that's pretty normal in the multi-family space - for an organization to teach you about this element of investing:  expect $20k for the fee.For the free stuff, let's try some local real estate meetup groups.

Books and podcasts can teach principles, but only a local property manager knows current rental laws, eviction timelines, tenant behaviors, and which neighborhoods attract long-term tenants.

I’m representing a buyer on a mixed-use property on the North Shore of Staten Island:The building consists of: 2 residential (1 vacant, 1 occupied)2 commercial (both vacant)Most local lenders I spoke with aren’t comfortable financing vacant commercial units.Looking for any lenders or brokers who’ve successfully funded similar deals —Appreciate any leads or advice 🙏— Yong

Even though the numbers didn’t line up for a full BRRRR cash-out refi in this rate environment, you still built equity and created a performing asset — and that’s exactly how most successful BRRRR investors get started.From my experience as a mortgage broker working directly with real estate investors, Ocala and Marion County can be very strong BRRRR markets if you buy deep enough.

Ken teaches folks how to enter zero down/ little costs.

Even walking a few active sites will teach you more than a dozen videos.

@Account Closed you haven't shared why you're looking to network.If you're hoping to network with agens & PMCs to have them feed you offmarket properties and other types of "deals", you're just one-of-a-million to them.We get inquires almost every day from OOS investors looking to invest in Detroit.For FREE these investors expect us to:- Drop everything else we're doing and focus on what they want- Spend hours on the phone with them TEACHING them how to invest- Spend hours finding deals for them- At this stage, many NEVER want to make an offer, just want to see better deals or they just disappear- Find lenders for them- and on and on and onSo, right or wrong, it's no wonder many in the industry ignore communications from investors.Recommend you network in person and be respectful of their time.

I teach landlords across the state on behalf of various sheriff's departments on landlord-tenant law, so I can firmly say the restrictions are minimal.

It teaches you management, operations, and numbers while reducing your living expenses.
