We fully furnished the home through FB marketplace and estate sales- nothing high end by any means, but very retro and mid century. 

Unfortunately they aren't very good for finding quality Realtors.

Mark I really wish I had seen your post before I paid for JN's program.Also high five to:  Anne Barnett Wholesaler from Omaha, NE - replied over 1 year agoI noticed that statue in the background of JN's videos also - I wondered if it was placed there as his "good luck" piece or placed strategically to impress his audience.My experience:  I came across Jerry Norton's RE investing book several years ago but had not bought into any program back then. 

@Daniel Green some good suggestions and really high performers on this thread, you are in good hands. 

I've been tracing wholesalers in califonia for months, like nothing other state finding individual wholasalers in califonia is quite challenging I don't know if it's because the house prices are too high compared to other markets.

Then you have companies that originate and having a loan go NP is a semi disaster :)  What I am seeing is some of the NPN folks have had to go into origination as the NPN space inventory shrunk a ton and or pricing was to high to make sense. 

Here’s how:Property Management: Outsource for $25/hour instead of spending your time on tenant issues.Administrative Tasks: Use virtual assistants for scheduling, bookkeeping, or paperwork.Maintenance Coordination: Delegate routine repairs to trusted contractors.The cost of outsourcing is often a fraction of what your time is worth, freeing you to focus on high-impact activities.

Contractors, unless you have a working relationship with them, normally do not want you bouncing ideas off them.Understand what their hourly rate is, have a discussion with them that you are okay with paying them an hourly rate if they walk the property with you and provide you a scope of work along with an explanation of what you can/can't get away with in regards to improvements.ask them if you go with them, if they can credit you the amount that you paid.Once you develop a working relationship with a few contractors, you can bounce ideas off them and expect quality responses.I do not invest in New York.Best of luck. 

With 30 years of residential construction experience and having built several homes in the past few years, I bring a strong foundation in project execution and quality craftsmanship.Right now, I’m seeking lenders to help me unlock home equity for property acquisitions and to expand my portfolio.

We are starting from scratch on this business relationship and hopefully this will go as promised.
