Hello I am Vanessa, im new to real estate and am looking to buy my first BRRRR using a HELOC and a partner in the Los Angeles area. I am looking for wholesalers and agents to connect with. If you're in the area let's talk, thanks 😊

This is a great question and we often neglect to ask ourselves! For me overcoming discouragement and the fear of uncertainty. One month I put up 1000 hand written bandit signs after hours of cutting up signs and writing we buy houses, driving around cities placing them on telephone poles and calls from the city threatening to fine me. I finally got a call from a what seem to be a motivated seller with an aggressive follow up I came to find they had given me a random address which they didnt own. Feeling defeated I naturally stopped doing bandit signs witch was my only marketing strategy at the time. After about a month or so of no action I realized that was basically the worst thing I could have done. I've been self educating ever since then every chance I get using books,podcasts, youtube and now have been trying other marketing strategies that I found get a better response. I have discovered one that the more we apply knowledge as soon as it is acquired the more self confidence it brings and momentum it builds toward your business.

Hey guys, I am putting together my first yellow letter marketing campaign any recommendations on what kind of envelope to use I really want to get the owner to open it is there a certain color or type that you've found gets a better response rate? Would love to hear what has worked for others thanks 😊

Hello everyone, I am wondering if I were to buy raw land and place a manufactured home with a foundation would it add any value if so could I do cash out refinance? I'm not sure if this is even a strategy or a way to get cheap rentals just throwing it out there if anyone has any input or wants to do it

Hey Christopher, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and advice.

Hey guys I am finding a way to get into my first deal. I am in Los Angeles CA I have very little cash but $20k in business credit that I have considered using as a downpayment for a hard money loan, maybe a turn key or foreclosure out of state. Is there anyone in the community that has done something like this? Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
