Happy to chat more or connect you with some great people in your area!

My story isn't sexy but I connect more with locals like Jonathan Greene and others who slowly build our portfolio.

Happy to connect with you. 

Hey @Richard Bautista,Sounds like you’ve found a promising connection, but trust should come through verification, not blind faith.

Take some time to meet people—connect with agents, lenders, property managers, and investment advisors.

Supposedly, they connect sellers with brokers and homebuyers in each market.

I have been investing mainly in trust deeds but like you got connected with Dave and just recently ended up investing in his fund, my primary reason was for diversification and because it is passive. 

If you need some connections, I run the most active group of small landlords in the city and have a network of connections that you could potentially leverage.

That’s why small towns often go unnoticed by major investors unless they have local ties or connections to the area.Within about an hour’s drive from Lexington, there has been significant activity.

If you’d like, I’m happy to connect you with professionals in Chicago who specialize in this.Best,Jarret
