If you're looking for ongoing, tailored guidance, hiring an advisor or mentor who can work with you through your own path might be more valuable than a course focused on specific strategies.

Tailoring finishes to your market can make a big difference in maximizing value.

By gaining insight into the investor’s goals—whether it’s flipping properties, acquiring rental units, or developing new constructions—the broker can tailor their approach and identify the most suitable lending options.Once the broker comprehends the investor's needs, they leverage their extensive network of private lenders.

If financing is part of your strategy, consider exploring fix-and-flip loans, which are tailored to help investors like you fund both the purchase and the rehab of properties.Lastly, start small with your first project, ideally in a neighborhood where you understand the market dynamics.

Here's a technique you can try right away, and it's free.

The platform will offer features such as estimated ROI and cash flow on properties displayed on a map, similar to Zillow, but specifically tailored for investors looking for their next deal.My initial thoughts on the MVP are to focus on the core features listed above for investment properties, but I’d love your feedback to ensure the platform truly solves the challenges investors face.
