I'm struggling to generate extra lead flow from builders, mostly because it's so difficult to identify folks that are doing ground up, business purpose construction. 

Look, I am rather regimented when it comes to hard money; that a HML should ONLY ever be used for short term transactional purposes. 

Make a plan that eventually leads to owning property that throws off cash after you purchase it.

I'm afraid if you don't get a handle on it or let them go with a referral it could be detrimental to your business and could quite possibly lead to negative google reviews. 

AI is already impacting lead management in a huge way.

As a powerful organization, I would like to see Bigger Pockets become a leader in not simply educating real estate investors but leading the way in warning investors about the real estate guru pitfalls.  

Now what would make you think someone here wouldn't be doing their due diligenceAgain this is also a platform for new investors so there will be questions along the wayYou should consider developing an understanding for the purpose of a legitimate forum

These are what-ifs and usually lead to anxiety for a lot of people.

So the lead gen from Bigger Pockets and other places where one can publish their real estate content is going to get flooded with more looky loos and tire kickers, whereas before there were so many ultra aggressive investors one would probably not notice the looky loos and tire kickers as much because they were easier to ignore.

This is probably a silly question but if anyone could explain to me what the purpose of scaling single family homes for 2-3 years before purchasing my first multi family that would be greatly appreciated.
