As a new real estate agent in Northern Virginia, I'm trying to make these connections, but my immediate thoughts and attemps just involve messaging these business and informing them I'm an agent and that if the respective family is in need of a realtor I'd be happy to work w/ them, but every time I do that, the response I get is "we already have a realtor" or "house was already sold or listed"........and a lot of times I am refresh to the post, so obviously I want to be "there" sooner so I can get the seller listing lead.

So, as Kristine pointed out, it’s crucial that people are made aware of the risks involved.

@Dean GulloTo build connections in Southington and surrounding areas, join local real estate meetups, connect through BiggerPockets forums, get involved with local landlord associations, reach out to real estate professionals, attend town or community events, and expand your team.

Best to involve attorneys/lawyers as well, but it depends on the type of financing you get.  

Also, multi-unit sales involve more legal and financial nuances than single family homes so it will be in your best interests to work with an agent.

Hi Alex - There is a different things to consider when involving international investors.

@Jaskanwal Preet Singh ChhabraRefinancing a converted property for coliving involves appraisal, loan types, interest rate reduction, and careful planning.

The biggest issue is most of these "gurus" that get new wholesalers involved teach them to be deceptive when they approach realtors. 

Higher Fees and Costs: Cross collateral loans may come with additional fees, such as appraisal costs for each property involved, which can increase the overall cost of borrowing.In conclusion, while cross collateral loans can provide valuable opportunities for accessing larger amounts of financing and potential cost savings, they also come with considerable risks and complexities that borrowers must carefully consider.

At the risk of being proven wrong, I find it hard to believe that the Department of Homeland Security is involved in investing a failed real estate investment.
