Having this skill is critical to your success.

Some might argue that its one of the harder strategies.you need the hustlers spirit, problem solving skills, negotiating skills, marketing skills, a good understanding of construction cost, and market analysis skills.Although it is very possible to use low or no money down, you will quickly learn that a good wholesaler has significant marketing dollars behind them.

Hi, I’m a 30 year general contractor, looking to use my years of experience and skills to partner with investors. 

The bulk of your cost is labor that is licensed and skilled and not going to come back in rents or a cash out refinance valuation.

I want a team that is extremely smart, knowledgeable, trustworthy and skilled at what they do.

I'm also a skilled handyman and was considering offering my services to other investors as a separate business venture.My question is:Is combining buy-and-hold rentals with handyman services for other investors a wise approach, or will it spread myself too thin?

I can help with cold calling.Cost per lead is usually going to be in the $20-$50 dollar range (assuming a VA cold caller with native English) and a cost of about $0.20 per record for them to call potential motivated sellers (high equity, certain age, etc).CAC is going to depend on your conversion skills, but within 3-6 months can be $1500 to $5K depending on how many leads it takes you to close them.

With changes to the way we work, technology, and types of skill required, it makes sense that some won't feel that Cali works for them anymore. 

If it were a great deal, any other skilled investors would have already snapped it up.  

Your salesmanship skills may be good, but apparently still need to improve, as does your marketing.The fact that we're having this exchange proves my point.
