Has anyone ever watched "American Pickers"?

If you have, you know that Frank and Mike are antique hunters who door knock for their treasures. I've been testing the waters with door knocking for deal acquisition in this "tough-to-find-deals" market we are currently in. (Raleigh, Durham, Triangle, North Carolina area for me)

As I try to plan my door knocking process, I can't help but think about how these antique hunters hand over a flyer with who they are and what they are looking for.

 Is there anyone out there who door knocks for deals? If so... do you have a flyer, pamphlet, postcard, etc that you hand to the homeowner while talking to them about the potential to sell their home?

Always looking to learn and would love any info/resources you all have found helpful. I'll be happy to share my own trials of various techniques on this thread.

Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this and (hopefully) respond!

Nice work! 
Appreciate the post as well. Good luck as you scale, Jason

I’ll be there!

@Frank Hinck,

I completely agree about the receipts. I also would want to keep an eye on the volume of materials used vs billed to make sure I’m not funding another project. 

Good to know you’d be in on a similar deal. THAT is valuable info! 

Heres the situation.

A partner of mine has been looking to build to flip a luxury home in Florida. While interviewing contractors to build to shell on a recently acquired lot of land (we have our own subs for interior build), he got a proposal to partner with one of the Contractors.

 The deal is invoice material payment only and splitting the net profit 60/40.

He wants to bring me onto his current job sites and will provide references.

Neither one of us had considered this an option before. Is this common? Are there particular risks associated with this method I should be aware of?

Right now it seems like lower up-front costs and motivation for the builder/contractor to perform quickly and well enough to maximize ARV.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Allentown Bethlehem Easton Pennsylvania investors!

As I get ready to turn one of my properties, I’m looking for recommendations for the following:

Counter tops (granite)

Cabinets

Carpets

A local locksmith

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone!

I’m Cam, a medical professional and real estate investor. I currently live and invest in Pennsylvania, but am looking to move to the Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill), North Carolina in 2020.

I would love to move right in to a property I own, and would be even more thrilled to snag a Live and flip or a House hack right out of the gate.

After that, I'd be pumped to continue to chug away at rehab SFR or small multi family investments. I tend to get some curious, private money from my colleagues in the medical profession. So I have the potential to do several deals a year.

I am looking for a highly recommended contractor and real estate investor who would be trustworthy enough to help me find a property before moving there (I.e. helping with some virtual inspections and quotes/comps).

I would love your recommendations, and am equally interested in making friends, connections, and learning of great local meetups!

Have a great day, guys!
