Would love to hear from some others on how they got started and anything else relevant for someone in my position.

I'm relatively new to Bigger Pockets but I am a "value guy" -- LOVE unlocking value where it is going undiscovered.

I love the "free calculators," but I also know that a lot of experienced investors will include specific items that may not be generic/general knowledge - or just have a personal bent toward certain criteria.

I would love to build a relationship with you and your partner.

I fell in love with the fact that I could be a huge asset to my community by creating more affordable housing opportunities and that is what drives me to continue on with this career path.

These are my first two, but this endeavor is something I want to RUN with, and I would love nothing more to focus on following finding great deals rather than worrying about my DTI.

From what you've said, it sounds like a REIT or RE investment fund would love to your services available to them on an as-and-when-needed basis.

One reason I love this asset class is the opportunity for forced appreciation through building income and/or lowering operating expenses.One factor out of an investor's hands - it seems - is the market cap rate, which will ultimately decide the asset's value at sale.My question is: how volatile are are these cap rates?

We are about to cash out on our first passive MF and would REALLY love to 1031 it into another RE investment.
