My company offers fast-closing, no credit/bad credit loan packages in 44 states and referrals in the other 6.

After 5 years in the business I’m starting to get a few word of mouth referrals which is how I closed my last property which was my first off market deal.

Which do you think will be more competitive, buying from wholesalers or your own referrals?

If you're still in the process of identifying and connecting with a QI, I'd be happy to provide a referral if you're interested. 

Here’s how to find a broker you can trust:Ask for Referrals: Reach out to fellow investors or real estate agents for recommendations.Check Credentials: Look for brokers who are licensed and members of professional organizations, such as the National Association of Mortgage Brokers (NAMB).Review Their Track Record: Ask about their experience with real estate investment loans and request client testimonials.Interview Multiple Brokers: Prepare questions about their lender network, fees, and typical loan turnaround times.Evaluate Their Communication: Choose someone who listens to your needs and provides clear, honest advice.4.

Look at what high interest credit cards you can get rid of, pay down, or move to zero interest promotion cards for say 15 months etc.

If you want the name of the agency we use, message me I don't think we can promote a company here that isn't a BP sponsor or Pro etc.Hope this helps. 

While I would have built $150,000 in equity, the cash flow simply doesn’t work.Now, let’s compare this to the market conditions when BRRRR was highly promoted (pre-2020).Interest Rate: 4.75%Monthly Payment: $3,057/monthRent: $3,600/monthIn this scenario, I’d be making over $500/month with $23,000 left in the deal, resulting in a gross 26% cash-on-cash return—an excellent deal.As you can see, rates and prices play a critical role in the viability of the BRRRR strategy.

Feel free to DM me if you'd like more insights on all this (we don't do biz in Alabama so got nothing to lose).Here's some other "copy & paste" advice on how to search for a better PMC:----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

So you have some great resources right off the bat, my additional Referrals would be too many :)
