The partners between a realtor like myself (proficient in renovation experience), a general contractor, usually a loan consultant to support the buyer and the lender, (along with a buyer and seller of course) are the parties involved.I come across so many homes perfect for 203k or HomeStyle buyers, on and off-market, it isn't funny.

So simple.Email & Marketing: How are you handling outreach, automation, and social media?

I have an investor friend who is a very successful wholesaler in a market, (south FL), that is crawling with wholesalers. 

You have zero control over the stock market, whereas when you do private lending, you have significantly higher control and contractually guaranteed return on your money.

Just like any of the investment strategies here in BP, they need to evovle as the market and housing landscape evovles.

I hear there's a recent case in Federal Court where an investor was found NOT GUILTY of violating anti spam laws because his text was asking to BUY a property, which isn't sales (which is what marketing is). 

From there we identify properties that could have some potential and if you are interesting in diving deeper, 1) we do a thorough video walkthrough to give you a realistic look of the property, 2) we give a ballpark estimate of rehab costs (we do 40 a year with our GCs o we will get pretty close), 3) we talk through market rent with our property management team, ARV, and potential highest and best use.Ideally you find great investor agents who know their market really well and have a network of resources to provide you with enough confidence to take reasonable action. 

I'm looking for ways to invest in up-and-coming markets in Southern California, such as in San Bernardino County and Riverside County.

Marketing = momentum.

The marketing class will help you keep your STRs and LTRs leased.
