You might want to join groups or forums specifically for private lenders—BiggerPockets is obviously a great place, but local REI meetups or masterminds could also help.Also, consider sharing insights or case studies from deals you've done (if you're comfortable) to spark conversations.

Excellent insight showing just how ridiculous this “don’t need capital, just drive for dollars” nonsense is. 

I appreciate the great insight. 

Having a PMC myself (probably will never happen and I'll just manage my stuff) I would never allow my clients to have to ask for proof.thank you for the insights!

Thanks for the insight, Jay!

Dave above has done a ton in 2nds space so he may have some further insights.

Be sure to check out the free tools BP provides to help analyze deals you may have and also market insights.

Sites like Census.gov or Zillow's market trends can give great insights.

I am looking for insight on whether out of state investing is a good strategy for a first-time investor and/or a fit for me and my situation.

And finally, while there are likely some pro accounts that will only give you discounts if you are licensed, most will let anyone sign up, and are often based on volume spent at that store anyways.Thanks for sharing your insight.
