Post: Need help with BRRR in Los Angeles, California

I flipped and managed 100 houses in DHS, I miss that ****hole.  Call Kerry Gelbard at LA Mortgage.  Or message me for his contact.

I am a standard RE agent in LA now, but I still have a soft spot for DHS.   I have worked with Kerry, he's excellent.  If he can't help you he'll find someone who can.   Tell him Amy referred you.

Thanks Brian.  That is my current plan.  After my open house today I am going to introduce myself to the surrounding ramshackled half a million dollar hovels in the shadow of the freeway and say that I am part of an online network that helps sellers of properties find investors looking to buy.  

I am sure what I am proposing is legal. The seller would always have the option to list on the MLS and would understand his/her options. I would explain that the seller saves on my commission because I will be listing the remodeled home, and the seller can always say no to any offer. I received similar offers from agent bird-dogs on occasion when I was flipping.

I will keep this short. I have three years of trustee sale experience and 300 plus house years of SFR rental management experience. I am now a retail real estate agent (and I privately manage SFRs for owners), the trustee sales are almost over for the mid sized flippers around here ("my" money is buying non-performing loans, better returns on time and money). What sort of pitch or marketing can I use to get the attention of smaller flippers, the guys who use bird-dogs or MLS listed properties to make money? I was thinking of finding a fixer first and offering it to investors via direct mail (pitch is: investors buy off-MLS, the sellers pay me a minimal commission - so they net more, but I get the subsequent remodel listing from the investor. ) But, it would mean I have to lie to the seller, claiming I have an investor, when I don't. If I were the investor, and I found out my agent lied to a seller, I would be very wary. Besides, I just don't like lying. So, what mode of introduction do the small flippers out there like best? And, what skills do I highlight? I don't have phone numbers, so I cannot cold call.

 I am in SoCal, San Gabriel Valley.  Thanks friends!
