Best way for Newbie/RE Agent with limited cash to compete for Fix/Flips?
The north suburban Atlanta market has a deep pool of investors with cash in-hand chasing fix and flip residential deals, an arena in which I want to play. Deals often don't make it to market, often going straight to said investors with a track record of closing quickly. With limited cash, I'd be looking to borrow funds, either private/hard money. How would be the best way to compete against these investors and get started?
Thanks

"Deals often don't make it to market, often going straight to said investors with a track record of closing quickly"...or to those who dig for deals differently instead of the common approach of yellow letters to out-of-state homeowners.
Also, be human and build a relationship with your seller. Strike a chord with them and make it personal. Stand out from the rest and truly communicate that you understand their situation. Also remember that "people like people who are like themselves." -Tony Robbins
Get yourself a good HML and build a relationship, you'll be able to say the same things. And there's that word again: relationship.
The right relationships will bring you the right deals with the right money every time.
