I am seeing Vegas Casino/hotels offer 99 dollar specials right now  4 days 3 nights use it anytime in the next 18 months..

Another great thing is to attend different networking events so you can meet different players in the real estate space as well as other investors. 

Ask the locals their favorite geographic locations to invest, who the players in the area are, recommendations for PM's/Contractors/Realtors/Lenders/etcWhat is drawing you to these markets?

Only thing is his client base is full of big players so his time is limited for smaller investors.

Also, maybe important players such as the architect, contractor, and others should be investors in the project, believers in the vision and they’ll have skin in the game so the product will be made well.2.

Know your area extremely well from a rental law/registration situation, know the players (PMs, contractors, inspectors, suppliers, etc), attend meetups or start one if there is not one in your area. 

I would recommend looking up local real estate meet ups in your area and attending as many as you can - this will be a great way to network with lots of players in the industry including real estate agents, investors, wholesalers, lenders, etc

Even some of the multi-state players adapt to the needs of the local markets.Nathan shared some good advice.

Each player starts out with $1500You play a few rounds and each team owns some properties etc but there are still on properties on the board which we will say get auctioned.

Who in their right mind is signing your 9.75% loans, are you running these at 2:00am at the local casino parking lot?
