Hi everyone,

With what's happening in the stock and securities market, now is the best time for many passive investors. I'm seeking advice on scaling my real estate portfolio and attracting potential investors. Here's a bit of background:

• I have over ten years of experience in real estate.
• I've bought and sold hundreds of properties in the past two years.
• I have six performing rental properties and aim to expand this to 50 by the end of the year.
• I want to expand to doing ten monthly flips with a few developments.
• Also, we have a team of fifteen employees now, with processes and systems to scale.

Given my track record and ambitious goals, I'm exploring ways to attract investors for fix-and-flip projects and rental property investments. I'm curious to hear your insights on the following:

Attracting Investors: How can I attract investors better? Have there been subtle approaches that worked for you?

Marketing Techniques: What marketing techniques or platforms have you used to showcase your track record and attract investment interest?

Networking Tips: How can I leverage industry events, meetups, and online communities to build relationships with potential investors?

I appreciate any advice or experiences you can share that might help me navigate this growth phase successfully.

I appreciate any help you can provide.

Nightmare story,
I've bought many homes before but this was by far the worst ever. 
I just bought a seller financed property in Dunn from a person that I previously trusted. I definitely should have done my due diligence before. Upon having to evict the tenant, I noticed that the plumbing was backed up and still cast iron. I thought to myself, no big deal it's only a few thousand more to get my plumber in there to replace it, but once my once my contractor got in to fix the floors (which were buckling) he saw a cyclone of termites. And an infestation of German roaches that made the pest guy jump (he said).

After everything was said and done, we incurred 4 times the cost as I was told/ estimated. I definitely should have followed my first rule, get a $50 inspection.

Has anyone ever encountered this? What's the worst thing you've seen?

Should I sell it to a cash offer company?
