I’d stay on the ownership/investor side and partner with experienced operators or management teams who already know this space.I’m hoping to learn from people who actually do this and can share what it’s really like:• What actually works vs what just sounds good online• Common mistakes / traps to avoid• Regulatory reality• What “healthy, realistic” numbers look like• What makes a good owner–operator partnershipEarlier in my career I lived mostly in the analytical world.

I would like to connect and share my analysis with an experienced real estate investor to validate my models.

An engineered cost segregation study doesn’t require REP status to be valid, it simply accelerates depreciation but whether you can use the losses immediately depends on how your activity is classified.

From a skills standpoint, I’m comfortable with basic repairs such as painting, flooring, carpet, and drywall, but I’m not highly experienced with major renovations.

. — from healthcare hubs to engineering project cities — and I love sharing insights.Ready?

I’m seeing experienced borrowers still closing in 7-14 days with strong terms, but newer guys are struggling more.What’s been your reality lately when you find a deal you like?

Most won't though, and here's why: 1) you will be slower, 2) you will not be as skilled, even demo has a right and wrong way (I've had people cut a roof truss, then I have to call an engineer, etc) 3) you will be in the way, borrowing their tools, asking questions, etcBetter to just let them handle everything.... 

Others would mention various websites and softwares like Propstream, Propwire, Zillow, Redfin, but not explain much further.My main goal on this platform is to learn from experienced wholesalers, build relationships with new ones and possibly even do some joint venture deals.

If the agency went bust tomorrow, would I know how to restart the engine myself? 

I have familiarized myself with the various metrics including cap rates, cash on cash etc and would love to learn the top metric experienced investors check first to know if something is a good deal or not.
