Build relationships with local agents, property managers, and contractors who specialize in investment properties.

Everything else; relationships, making connection, closing deals, and ultimately making money, is the result of concerted efforts.

We try to work with the same subcontractors as much as we can - it's the only way to establish a long term relationship. 

Also, don’t sleep on building relationships with local realtors who specialize in investments.

My name is Ashley and I’m looking to provide value as a bird dog by helping investors find off-market deals in areas like Trenton, Hamilton, Hightstown, East Windsor, and Princeton.My goal is to learn, grow, and build lasting relationships with investors in my local market.

He is a realtor that I previously purchased a small portfolio from and therefore had a good professional relationship.

Focus on saving, building your credit, and connecting with local investors.

I know investing with family can possibly hurt relationships if things don't go well, so I don't want to make any big mistakes since this is a large amount of my parents inheritance.

Build a system that attracts the right audience.
