This seems like an awesome idea as I am always looking for innovate ways to generate leads, especially inexpensive(free) ones.

It will supplant California as the birthplace of innovation and industry.

@Scott Trench Seeing as we are in the "Innovative Strategies" forum, I'd like to point out that not all of us that invest in SFRs fall into the "rent it" or "flip it" categories.

Hello,I wanted to share with the community here my little success story.I work full time for an oil and gas company in Houston, and with things being the way they are, I decided to find alternative ways to compliment my income and replace it when needed.Real Estate was the investment of choice for me, I started reading about the RE business in July 2015 and I then came across BB where I learned a ton of information.Was so motivated and I committed myself to doing my first deal in 2015, I bought the deal in Nov. 2015 the house was in a good school district but on a very busy street which –I think- scared other investors.The house needed new roof, foundation work, new AC and full interior update which is not a typical first deal but the numbers looked good so I decided to jump in.The rehab work took about 3-1/2 months and when it was done I had a full time offer in 2 days, just closed on it on March 13th.Could I make more money?

So the agent suggested living in the property until I get married (currently engaged and date set in Nov 2016), then purchase the 2nd home under my wife's name so that we can qualify for an additional FHA loan.

My husband and his brother were named on one property along with their father in Nov 2014. 

I am interested in expanding my portfolio especially using innovative financing.

My portfolio is in Idaho - Boise and renting a shed for $1000 is bonkers, but California has been known to come up with innovative ideas!

I don’t recall the exact description he gave them but it was something like an “innovator” and an “implementer”.Thanks in advance to anyone with a good memory!

We have a friend/realtor who is fabulous and innovative.
