btw - I’ve saved some of these recommendations and am actively looking in Indianapolis. 

IG is prob the most relevant social media platform with a decent messaging capabilities. 

I’m active in Huntsville as an investor and turnkey property manager.

You have to just commit to doing the lead generation 5-6 days a week (social posts, door knocking, talk to people you know, talk to people you don't know, host open houses for agents in your office, drive for FSBO's, etc) until you have planted so many "seeds" that they result in business. 

For example, we have a multifamily deal in the boroughs where the contract rider specifically states if the owner cannot deliver the property by X date, the purchaser can back out with their deposit.If you have some flexibility on the contract, you could continue shopping active deals as backups.

I don't use the rent zestimate for the property itself, I look at neighboring properties that are actively for rent.  

The only problem was doing nonproductive activities.

The renovation budget can be artificially inflated so you can have a "cash pillow" for maintenance or anything else really.The conventional loan for purchase and rehab is the most commonly used by investorsIf you have a company it is also possible to apply for loans but it is necessary to have at least 6 months of activity.

If you see somone with a high level of recent misdemeanor criminal activity their chances of getting a felony is high.  

Also, are there any social media websites with groups that I could network with that highlight investors & wholesalers?
