Good evening BP world,I am looking to make some contacts, specifically RE agents and hands-on investors in the phoenix area, in order to start acquiring some value add SFH investment properties.

Cold calling is a great idea to get started, but maybe try connecting with local real estate groups or online forums too—they can sometimes have off-market deals.

I have been listening to the podcasts for a while but have just started exploring the website.

Less risky and you can have a better start.

We started construction in February 2025 and are planning to start leasing up in Spring of 2026." 

You should start with both of these suggestions. 

I started as a real estate investor in Philly, but was disappointed with the GC's a subs I was finding. 

Curious, did you ever start your project? 

Realistically speaking, except in very rare cases, I think it’s all about pictures pictures picturesMost people aren’t gonna have success  starting their own booking website or running targeted ads or creating some amazing Instagram account.

So, starting with a budget, and then narrowing it down to the must haves, then the like to, then any bonuses.
