Assuming this is in fact a good deal, and your friend is a qualified GC, instead of trying to be the lead investor, he should be searching for someone who has the balance sheet to take down this deal on their and be a transactional participant.

I did a quick google search yesterday trying to find one in my area and got a lot of corporate type responses eg fill out this form and check the website etc.

Are you noticing specific property types, neighborhoods, or price points where buyers are finding the most opportunities?

We have a house in the neighborhood who's owner recently passed.

In addition being able to do your own searchs and one thing out west here that was very productive for us/me was just going through the big Plat maps ( the actual mylar / paper ones in the day) We could find shadow plats.

Do a search for Background Checks on the Passive Pockets site.

We help our clients:1) Find a fixer-upper to buy2) We get bids3) Negotiate a Scope Of Work with the owner using "Maintain to the Neighborhood" to avoid over-improving, but understanding we will have to pass city Rental Inspection to avoid being a slumlord.4) Provide multiple jobsite videos to show progress and document WHAT was done and the QUALITY.5) Handle passing city Rental Inspection6) Find a tenant with a Replacement Guarantee per Class7) Assist with refinance, so client can repeatSo, why you looking OOS again?

I do like the efficiency of pricelabs in terms of easily monitoring your comps (if you use the Neighborhood tab and load in your comps)

You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

I'm in the midst of renovating a property in a high end neighborhood.
