I'm based out of Raleigh and personally own rental properties in Fayetteville, Benson and Clayton and could offer some friendly advice and help out with your journey. 

This triples your headache.BE the voice of REASON to your friend. 

Once you start working with an investor friendly agent, they can bring you deal flow that matches your criteria.

I've done some digging on Batchleads, it seems to be the best option for skip tracing.A realtor friend warned me about the consistent "No's" I'll eat before i get my first deal.

Through friends.

@Frank Alfano agency debt is very competitive (75-80 ltv, non-recourse, fixed-rate etc); you can syndicate and raise the equity portion needed from friends and family, provided you can market and lead the project.

I'm a lending manager with 120 loan officers under me and 2 of my great friends and colleagues specialize in manufactured lending The reason most lenders don't do them is because:1.

My question is, when you are looking to partner with someone to fund the down payment, what is the best way to find a partner without going to family/friends?

Unfortunately, many new investors drool over how many crapboxes they can buy and brag to their friends about owning.

How often do you use it personally or let friends/relatives stay?
