Howdy, I have been in the game for about 10 years now and have mid seven figures of real estate assets. 

Quote from @Mike Sfera: This depends on the PM that you are speaking with when you reach out.

Feel free to reach out anytime!

Since most people who are not actively seeking a sale are not motivated to sell at anything other than a top of the line price, this is going to be a numbers game of x thousands of contacts for every potentially doable deal.  

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat or bounce ideas around.

If you self manage short-term rentals it's well within reach. 

For example I know many who are now just lending because they are getting 10-12% short term which is far better than any cap rate on real estate. you do not have the equity upside as you do real estate but its a way to play the short game to see what happens over the next 12-24 months and decide when you want to buy.

I pull pretty solid lists, I find a lot of my deals off market, just thought I could reach more if I have a few full time callers on the phones.While i'm at it, how are you guys finding good deals in today's world?

Feel free to reach out if you have any advice for a newcomer or if you're also investing in the Kirkland area!
