I highly doubt Paces team does anything more than sell you his system.. no way they are vetting potential borrowers of small EM deposits  :)  many beginning wholesalers do wholesaling because they have no money or credit or credit is tarnished etc.. this is ultra high risk en devour to be loaning money like this to people you are meeting on line..

Negotiation, I could use zoom/webex meeting and give advice.

(And - full disclosure - I will be using a mail forwarding address also and only occasionally actually hosting meetings at that location... it's like a 'WeWork' space, I generally work from home and my managers are on-site at the parks...)To everyone's continued success, and due diligence,-jl-

You can find something in Durham and parts of Raleigh, specifically zips 27610, 27603, and parts of 27604 that would meet your criteria, however generally speaking most of the inventory that would fit what you are looking for in Raleigh or Durham would likely be in neighborhoods that I personally wouldn't want to invest in, C- to D type neighborhoods.

Doing so, should lead to you meeting other investors that you can then learn from about flipping and rentals.EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU:)You just have to work for it!

Meet ups could be a good source too since you’re in a big market. 

We meet twice a month: once to vet a passive investment together, and once to bring in an outside expert to present on their area of expertise. 

If you want to combine two or more lesser sales into one higher purchase that is fine as long as your purchase meets the timing requirements for each sale.  

When you can communicate both your strategy and criteria (and are financially credible), you can leverage your network and get meetings with brokers who are willing to shop for you.

Just because you want to hit a specific number doesn't mean the market will meet you there.Great example of how Class C properties may appear like great cash flowing investments on paper - meaning fully rented, paying on time and normal levels of maintenance.
