Hey Drew, thanks for your question!

I completely understand your concern, and I want to clarify my strategy. I’m actively networking with investor-friendly agents and businesses that come across distressed properties before they hit the market. These agents and businesses benefit because I work with a strong buyers list of serious investors who can move quickly on these properties, ensuring faster closings with less hassle.

Instead of just stacking onto other wholesalers’ inventory, I focus on building direct relationships where I can provide value by quickly bringing vetted cash buyers to the table. This way, agents, and businesses get their deals closed efficiently, sellers benefit from a smooth transaction, and my buyers gain access to off-market opportunities that fit their criteria.

It’s all about creating a win-win scenario where everyone involved benefits. Hope that helps clarify! Let me know if you have any other questions.

Best,

Hi Bonnie,

I really appreciate you reaching out and sharing your insights on Dayton and Cleveland! It’s great to hear that the city is making efforts to encourage development and streamline permitting.

I’m actively focusing on wholesaling distressed properties—finding off-market and pre-listing deals, getting them under contract, and assigning them to my network of end buyers who specialize in fix-and-flip and buy-and-hold strategies. Since you’re a lender with access to funding sources for these types of deals, I’d love to stay connected and see how we can potentially work together.

If you have any borrowers looking for deals in these markets, I’d be happy to share any properties I come across that might be a good fit. Let’s stay in touch, and I’d love to chat further about how we can collaborate.

Looking forward to working together!

Hey everyone,

I’m actively building a buyers list for off-market investment properties in Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Dayton. I’ve already connected with agents and businesses in these markets who will be sending me exclusive off-market deals regularly.

Here’s how my process works:

1️⃣ I receive off-market deals directly from agents and businesses.

2️⃣ I analyze and filter them based on key investment criteria.

3️⃣ I send the best deals to my buyers list for review.

4️⃣ Buyers can review, choose the deals they’re interested in, and we move forward.

5️⃣ I partner with a buyer to fund the deal, assign the contract, and complete the transaction.

If you’re an active cash buyer, investor, or flipper looking for discounted off-market deals in these markets, drop your email and buying criteria below or DM me! I want to make sure I’m sending you deals that match your strategy.

Looking forward to working with serious buyers and growing together!

Let’s make some deals happen. 💪

Hey everyone,

I just bought my first piece of real estate—land in NM, and now I’m looking to get into rental properties by starting with wholesaling in Atlanta.

I’ve been spending a lot of time researching and searching for properties on Zillow, but I’d love some guidance on:

✅ How to find motivated sellers & off-market deals

✅ Connecting with investor-friendly agents & wholesalers

✅ The best way to structure my first wholesale deal

I also work a 9-to-5 job and attend college, so I’m trying to figure out how to balance wholesaling with my current schedule. I’d prefer to network via email rather than cold calling, so if anyone in the Atlanta area is open to partnering or offering advice, I’d love to connect!

Drop a comment or DM me if you’re interested. Looking forward to learning from and working with some of you!

Thanks!

@Jaycee Greene ok thank you I will look into this.

Hi everyone,

I’m a beginner real estate investor looking for guidance as I work toward purchasing my first rental property. I’ve done a lot of research, but now I’m taking action and need advice from experienced investors.

My Background & Current Progress:

• I’m working full-time while attending college, looking to start investing early to build wealth.

• I’m currently in Atlanta, GA, but I’m open to both in-state and out-of-state investing.

• I’ve started looking at affordable markets in the Midwest and South and have recently focused on Northwestern Pennsylvania after speaking with an agent there.

• I’m also in contact with a property manager in PA to ensure I have the right team in place.

• I’ve spoken with Sophia from BiggerPockets as a starting point and have watched a lot of YouTube videos, but I need guidance on taking the next steps.

Investment Criteria:

• Budget: Looking for a turnkey or move-in-ready property between $30K–$100K in the Midwest or South (PA & GA are my current focus).

• Down Payment: Planning to put down 15%–20% to keep my monthly payment low.

• Cash Flow: My goal is to keep total expenses at $600/month or less (including mortgage, taxes, insurance, and property management).

• Minimizing Debt: I want to avoid overleveraging and maximize cash flow from the start.

• Property Management: Since I’m investing out of state, I’ll be hiring a property manager to handle day-to-day operations.

Where I Need Guidance:

1. Best Markets in the Midwest & South – Are there better affordable areas I should be considering within my price range?

2. Finding Deals – What’s the best way to find turnkey or low-maintenance properties in this price range?

3. Financing Strategies – I’d like to put 15%–20% down—what’s the best way to secure a loan with manageable terms?

4. Avoiding Beginner Mistakes – What are the biggest pitfalls for a first-time investor, and how can I avoid them?

5. Working with Property Managers – What should I look for in a good property manager to ensure smooth operations?

I’m excited to get started and really appreciate any advice or insights from those who have been through this process. Thanks in advance!

Best,
