If you can house hack where you are at, that alone will be enough learning to give you a good taste of what you might be looking for.

Please let me know if you have any on- or off-market deals, preferably in high-traffic areas.

Hi Ashley, We have found what works well for us, as well as our clients is to ask them during the on boarding process if they have any preferred contractors.  

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

I am a realtor and wholesaler, and I get some buyers looking for owner financing, some sellers need/prefer getting cashed out and there are some lenders I work with who can provide the financing however they run out of funds sometimes.

I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida.

Some funds offer preferred equity and common equity in the capital stack.

.: @Jay Hinrichs  Why do you prefer PR over PS?

Can pay cash but prefer to finance part of it How did you add value to the deal?

Definitely a personal preference.
