You can always start by attending local real estate meetups, joining REI groups, and engaging in forums like this one or on LinkedIn.

If it did, I would go on linkedin and see what experience they had (for example that apple... company in TX had asset managers who were overseas VA's  - curious how many of those investors knew that and could have spotted a thirty second search would have created a red flag).5.

Texts like these are the same as what you get when you connect with someone on LinkedIn and an auto-message comes in totally canned with a pitch.

To add to my previous comment, we often do a LinkedIn search to see if our guests have a profile. 

Attend local investor meetups, join local Real Estate Investment Associations (REIAs), join digital groups like LinkedIn and Facebook, and use platforms like BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors, contractors, and potential partners.

I found your website, LinkedIn, and facebook page.

Looks legit to me - did some digging on their website and cross checking on LinkedIn.

These groups "find the deal" by raising money for other operator/syndicators, they market themselves (often with tag lines on LinkedIn of: I help busy (fill in industry) professionals create passive income through real estate),  They raise money from their own network and funnel it into a syndicators deal for part of the GP ownership.  

Maybe use LinkedIn, Instagram, Airbnb, etc to try to get in touch with them with ever escalating language.  

I would love to see you wholesale it to an operator and you keep a piece.I know a few students who own and operate in NM, and I can make an intro for youGinoHey Gino, I reached out to you on LinkedIn.
