Maybe it's in my head but sometimes there are two LVP advertised online with the same thickness, but in real life one feels obviously thinner/thicker.

That is online with what we’ve been paying when we were able to find help.

On a more enterprise scale, I employ RevMax software as well as a fractional revenue manager who looks at the prices daily on a market level and a comp set level. 

In-person interactions are great for building trust with potential investors.Real Estate Platforms:BiggerPockets: A robust platform for connecting with private lenders and investors.Fund That Flip, PeerStreet, Groundfloor: Online platforms connecting investors with real estate projects.Social Media Groups: Facebook and LinkedIn groups dedicated to real estate investing often have private investors or lenders looking to connect.Personal Network: Often overlooked, but friends, family, and colleagues may know individuals interested in investing.Private Money Brokers: If you're working on wholesaling deals, you may find brokers who have established relationships with private money lenders.Real Estate Agents: Some agents have connections with private investors, especially those focused on investment properties.For your 50% LTV, it's good to approach investors who may be interested in lower-risk, high-equity deals.

Best experience is hand on training, and not some workshop making you go back to pay for free information online. 

I came across one of these loan agreements online somewhere a few months ago, can't recall where I found it but it was clear in reading the loan agreement there was no language referencing the loan actually encumbering real property, it was just an unsecured loan.  

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Tuan Tran don't fall for all the hype about S8 by so called online "gurus"!

I have ~20 doors in OH that I self manage (there are some awesome softwares out there now for self management) and am looking to start investing in Buffalo too.

@Jorge Vazquez we stopped doing signs over 10 years ago.We had a separate phone number on our signs, so were able to track traffic & applications from them.We were getting more & BETTER leads from our online ads then the signs - so an easy choice to stop using them (also time & money savings).
