@Jenn Kinchen Networking with professionals in the industry, marketing directly to the owners (calling and mailing), and establishing yourself as the go to player in your market for bigger deals is gaining some traction for us. 

A lot of Chinese buyers have gone to Seattle but Trump makes them nervous (me as well) so I don't think they're as attached to US markets as they are Vancouver and if Seattle implements the same anti-foreign measures as Vancouver I think they would choose Vancouver over Seattle.The capital controls are mainly focused on corporate purchasers and the smaller time players but I'm assured that the really wealthy/connected can still move money out yet flows are lower.

Fascinating, so this is why the big players do a value push and sell or cash out to trade up every few years. 

You'll be most effective by getting to know the principal, their concerns, expectations, time and other issues, and all players influencing the decisions and affected by any outcome.Suggest you copy and print this post,

There has been a difficulty for individuals to obtain financial assistance if terms of funding on the web. maybe because of their credit score or past experiences with previous online lenders who promises a fast loan but in the end there seems to be no promising result. the wait for financial acquisition is over as James Carl is the answer to your financial funding as we are authorised to lend to the nation and worldwide.

However, I'd like to meet a lot more of the local players sooner rather than later. 

You might bump into some money guys there, know they aren't "private lenders" they are hard money lenders fishing in the waters.You'll also find leaches there, (not a derogatory term) it's very acceptable practice in RE for an experienced person to team up with inexperienced players to get a deal done, these experienced types just leach onto newbies and work deals, there are some who do nothing but leach deals providing themselves with more opportunities with less effort.

(I'm 50/50 on this..meaning, maybe your contact has direct access to Hershel Walker (he's worth about 12 mm I've read) or maybe your contact is 3 levels removed from a bankrupt former major baseball player.

Though they typically don't have the software, tools and options of the larger players, they often have the best data, most tailored to the local area.

However, networking locally at the real estate investing clubs and mixers will put you in touch with the local players and propel you to action.
