while still trying to keep up with the competition Do you rely more on direct-to-seller marketing, networking with agents, leveraging platforms like PropStream and Batch Leads, or just by looking at a lot of deals?

Are there any  other effective  platform to list  the house for that purpose ? 

Network with wholesalers, check public records, and use platforms like PropStream or DealMachine to find distressed properties.Be Cautious: Pay attention to permits, inspections, and local market trends—over-improving for the area could hurt your profits.Starting with a solid plan and realistic numbers will set you up for success.

I'm always game to chat real estate.

The trust one can build up over the years on platforms like BP, Youtube and others is insane.

It’s a long game so worrying about the short term is kind of pointless.

The  own/landlord has not responded to inquiries or inquest for an application on real estate platform (e.g., Zillow, Hotpads).

We have had hosts on the platform since then that are continuing to do well and add units.

Many sellers will not accept this since they are in second position, and it is very risky since if you default (higher probability for investors with no money and/or no skin in the game), they will most likely be wiped out during a foreclosure.

HI All, I’m new to this platform and investing.
