Some new investors think of it as a no-money down deal and given those other costs, it really almost never is.

Quote from @Jonathan Klemm: Sounds like you are no doubt heading in the right direction @Jason B.!  

As a hard money lender looking to fund $10MM+ in deals in 2025, our hope is to connect with similar sized hard money lenders, ideally in different geographic area, that are looking to create a small network to bounce ideas off of, learn from, and engage with regularly.Welcome to BP, as a lender happy to connect with you and network 

While good deals these days can be hard to come by, we've definitely seen success across all those Florida cities you mentioned. 

Appraisals are backed up and on the right timeline of investor deals, every day counts when you need toBeef up the appraised ARV to get a healthier LTV.Hope this helps!

Cash invested: $60 Sale price: $365,000 Sub-to deal with homeowner pre-foreclosure How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

The last 5 deals I bought were all basically move in ready, bought only at a slight discount after deals fell through.

I have been learning how the process works and there are a lot of resources for how to interview a sponsor and review the deal, but how do you initially access the deals to review?
