It’s a tough decision, but we’re adjusting our strategy to align with market conditions and our timeline.Having come from a corporate background, I’m used to doing these kinds of planning exercises.

Networking with local real estate meetups in Raleigh or surrounding areas could also help you find leads directly from other investors.

The entire agent model would perish because most of the time off-market listings are new leads that need to be prepared before hitting the market.

A better solution, in my opinion, is not to rely on wholesalers,  as not only is it a dying breed due to the sheer incompetence they exhibit due to gurus' wrong instructions and teachings, but, wouldn't it be better to generate your own leads through a high performing website?

In essence, they teach their select mentees how to find vacant commercial properties in good condition and great locations. 

Typically they have a side entrance that leads to the basement which can be easily split up with a door/wall.

Lastly, if you still decide syndications are appealing, get educated on how to vet the lead sponsor (including deep background checks), the market, and the deal itself (even though some concepts are similar, it is not the same as the single family long term rental analysis).

So if you search for specific terms like “real estate for sale” or something similar, you should discover a few solid leads that you never would have found otherwise.All in all, using the search feature is a great way to discover other connections to valuable real estate as well.

This can lead to increased financial freedom and a reduced environmental impact.

I am really inspired by people who a take something that 95% of other investors would pass on and make it work exclusively for them through sheer will and creativity even with bad market conditions.
