Post: Using Airbnb and other ways to find absentee owners?

I'm trying to figure out creative ways to reach out to absentee owners. An idea that I had was to check Airbnb for listings that offered entire homes and reaching out to the owners through Airbnb. I feel like one would be more receptive through Airbnb messages than a direct email. Anybody have opinions or other ways to reach out instead of buying lists?

Hello Orlando BP members!

I very much want to get involved with GOREIA starting with the No Money Down meeting this Thursday. If you haven't gone to their meetings yet, you can print out a free pass. 

I commute from East Orlando on a bicycle, and Altamonte Springs is a little far from me. So I was wondering if anybody is driving from East Orlando that I can ride with? Thanks!

Hello everyone! 

Got advice on using Listsource to track absentee owners and sending yellow letters to suggest finding tenants for them, and collecting the difference between mortgage payments and the rent amount. 

My biggest challenge is being young and not having much money to invest in letters and other forms of advertising, so do you guys have suggestions of alternatives, ways that you guys target absentee owners in creative, no money down ways? 

Thanks everyone!

@Ayodeji Kuponiyi

Thanks for the words! 

Where do you do your deal searching? Is it through real estate agents, real estate websites, and/or driving around? 

I have started looking on websites like Redfin and Zillow, but I know that those aren't the best places to find deals.

@Josh Caldwell That's a great suggestion. Can you elaborate more on this and share some of your experiences with this? Like the creative offers that you would use? Would you find this to have a effective rate of replies? Thanks so much!

I've been a member for almost a year, and I love this community!

I wanted to update on my progress, and reach out to connections in the Orlando area. 

I currently have one buy and hold property under my belt with my mom. It's doing very well! I am looking to buy my second. I would like to partner for my second buy and hold SFH since I don't have a sufficient income history (coming straight out of college). I have a great credit score and knowledge I want to put to use!

If anybody could steer me in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it. Please feel free to connect with me as a colleague if you're in the Orlando area! 

Post: How To Acquire a Partner As a New Investor

Hello BP!

Hope you all are doing well. I just got my first property (yes!) and am trying to acquire a second. 

The thing is, I came right out of school and do not meet the 2 year income requirement for lenders. Also, my property cashflows, but won't be substantiate a worthy debt to income ratio. So, I have decided that partnerships are the way to go for now, until I can have loans under my name. 

My question is, as a new investor, how do I approach potential partners? I can foresee some doubt from potential partners because I only have one property and I'm only 22. So, I want to do what it takes to make up for it. For example, does marketing presence help (websites, business cards)? Or will a handy BP rental analysis usually suffice? How does one approach somebody about a possible partnership? Thank you everybody!
