The issue i'm having is I feel like I don't have time to do proper follow up on everything.It's not good to spend the money on marketing then hope the phone will stop ringing so I can catch up.  

I am all ears and have an open mind

Taking action ensures the phone will ring.  

Does land fraud and mortgage fraud ring any bells, violates RESPA, if the buyer or seller uses the mail in the transaction, you have mail fraud, wire any money from one lender to another depository, wire fraud.

However, when I see what I consider an inexperienced team try to raise funds last summer on one portal (and fail) pop up on yet another portal nine months later, with the same "experienced sponsor" mantra, something is amiss.Don't get me wrong, I think there is a need for CF and it will continue to grow and offer opportunities, but what you said rings very true. 

It is most likely similar in other cities, but especially in Philly, a block or two, even within the same zip code, can make a humungous difference...in rental income, in vacancy rates, in "buying right"I keep my "ears to the ground", so to speak, by working closely with realtors, wholesalers, and property managers in various areas/neighborhoods to see where and how things are moving. 

ok thanks John, Im out for the day but will ring you tomorrow about the lead you have.

With that, if you know of any investors in the area who would like a free cup of Starbucks coffee and to have their ear pulled about RGV investing, I'd happily comply.Thanks,Serafin

In particular, the REIA and RING groups are very active and include investors of all experience levels.Shera Gregory
