The fee should be relatively small compared to the investment in a meaningful direct mail campaign.You may also want to chat with a few title companies about what kind of transactions they'd be comfortable with.

That’s how you build meaningful relationships who will add real value.

I suspect they drew you a flow cart and then your conversations went something like this: I need to transfer my properties to an LLC for anonymity.They are told they are not anonymous & that is not asset protectionBut I need it anyway for tax savings.They are told there’s no meaningful tax advantages  But I can get non recourse debt because the LLC is the borrower.They are told they still have to personally guarantee the loanNo, I can get non recourse debt I read all about it.They are told yes, while that is true, the leverage is customarily low, applies to much larger CRE transactions and there are still carve outs.

Are there any recommendations from anyone who have found certain news sites or data sources to extract data from that has helped them understand the current market landscape in their target area?

In San Diego I recommend descaling tankless annually and this is significantly more effort than draining 5 or 10 gallons from a tanked heater and changing anode every 5 years (by the way always use impact wrench to extract old anode as breaker bar can move water heater messing with other connections).  

If I had to choose, I would always prefer cold calling over texting for this approach.The two best strategies I’ve found are inbound methods: direct mail and Google Ads.Direct mail can be expensive, but it can also yield highly discounted properties.Google Ads, on the other hand, doesn’t require data extraction like calls, direct mail, or texting.

I came across BP - and the resources and community here are just so vast and meaningful, I had to join.

Tax benefits are great, and the ability to extract equity without selling is very beneficial when trying to scale.You don't have to BRRRR, you an always buy an apartment, fix it and flip it.

We're all in this to build something meaningful, and I'd love to hear more about what you're working on in Norfolk!

At current valuations and rates, after the high LTV refi to extract value the properties have huge negative cash flow in virtually every market.
