I think I would recommend people start class b but I recognize the challenges to get the numbers to work.  

But otherwise the best way to get in front of people is through either word-of-mouth like you're doing or paid advertising on Google, Meta, Pinterest etc., I think there's a lot to building a "community" like feel for your tenants that may include events, giveaways, etc., to get them to engage with you and elevate their living experience.  

The audacity people have to trash your place, treat you like garbage and want their money back. 

That would bypass many city/state regulations that force landlords to rent to people here illegally. 

I am partnering with with other people who want to invest in real estate and they have money but they don't have the time, experience, or knowledge of how to invest in real estate in a way that makes a lot of money quickly.

Would love to meet more people.  

I love doing these types of deals—not only because most people avoid them, but also because it’s rewarding to help sellers in these situations.

My biggest question when I was researching all the programs was "If these people are so successful at what they do, why are they charging so much for all of this and always trying to upsell?" 

Personally I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to wholesale a relatives $1M home knowing that I am breaking the law if I cross over into doing anything that can be considered representing them in the transaction, and knowing it will only be marketed to people who buy properties wholesale (typically investors who don't want to pay retail prices), instead of the majority of retail buyers active in the market who are typcially willing to pay more. 

I see people purchasing new STR's here and others dumping their properties or converting into LTR's.
