Now private lenders are my main purchase method, along with seller financing and BRRRR.

Verifying rental history often takes a long time to complete due to applicants not giving us correct landlord contact information, landlords not returning our calls or refusing to give us any details.We also deal with applicants trying to have family or friends pose as their landlords.

You are correct in that we are using them as our “boots on the ground” , GM of sorts.  

Quote from @Lucas Schlund: @Ty Coutts What method would you say is better for a beginner investor, using max leverage on your first deal, or using more cash upfront to put more equity into it?

As a realtor, I always used a 50% valuation as a rule of thumb, but appraisers may have a better method.

That’s correct.

I am wondering who has done the BRRRR method as an investor and what institutions are investor friends for multiple BRRRS.

@Tom Dieringer you are correct that they are similar services.

Roberto,I think you are correct no email in the string that I an find.Thank you for trying.John

I don't know that there is a much bigger vetting process other than if they can pay for leads, but correct me if I am wrong.I have been on here for ten years and sourced hundreds of leads without ever asking for a single thing because all I do is show up and answer questions and add value.
