The setup felt like a personal connection all in pursuit of getting your business.  90% of it was done by AI and the other 10% came when a live rep was available.

I think a big catalyst this year across all areas of real estate will be the unemployment rate and personal income growth within the Kansas City metropolitan areas and surrounding cities.

My personal experience after 40 + years in the real estate industry is that “wholesaling” is a very INEFFICIENT AND INEFFECTIVE way to gain knowledge and experience relative to real estate.

Dumb Debt also means that the owner takes on recourse debt and personally guarantees it instead of non-recourse debt or other people’s debt (OPD) or cross collateralizes it with highly appreciated assets with low debt to value ratios.

You can try recruiting on LinkedIn, and you might come across the right person.

I work with a lot of MTR investors and what I am seeing frequently with multifamily acquisitions, particularly with new investors, is that they often test the property just like you're mentioning, as a way to dip their toes in the water and see what works in their area and for their personal style.

And personally, I stay away from OH because it's what herd think has long been and I worry how much of price is based on herd-actions or market metrics. 

Personally, I wouldn't use a heloc to then go purchase a primary residence, unless what you can rent the current SFH for enough to cover the current mortgage (assuming there is one on the property) and the heloc payments.

you can get financing witha  LLC but the lender will require a personal guarantee on the loan.
