Boom, you are now a real estate investor.Oh and definitely build a corporate web of at least 5 layers of shell companies before you even begin thinking about buying a property.  

This dynamic will continue to drive up both prices and rents for the foreseeable future.

Tasha,Congrats on the success so far and even though there is a $100 cost in AZ its not that far of a drive to Las Vegas or to NV in general.

We found our forever home in the neighborhood we wanted by driving the entire neighborhood, adding the properties using DealMachine, and then sent them all handwritten greeting card letters stating that we're a new family looking to move into the neighborhood and if they had any interest in selling to please call us.

Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.

Communication is SEVERELY lacking from all the agents involved plus the brokerage.Finally, I just drive to the sellers house in person and knock on the door.

If you have commercial experience and are an excellent asset manager (managing the property manager, driving revenue, reducing expenses,  managing GCs)You wont just provide value to a sponsorYou will be highly sought-after after by sponsorship groups.The ones worth their salt know how incredibly valuable a strong asset manager is (and how much work it takes)So if you can bring that skillset, I have a feeling it won't take long for you to find a sponsorship team.
