Question is, is the person you are dealing with a correspondent broker who brings them deals to fund or someone from their company.

Both are looking for deals.

While it seems like there are some better priced deals lately, you may have to be prepared to put down 30-40% down.I'd say due to the lack of homes for sale, you should be open to many if not most cities depending on the deal that comes up. 

But it was our first deal of course we didn’t have our act together and his underwriter said it was an awesome deal.

Trust and reputation builds and deals just flow from that...

.📜 Know the rules – No "deal-making" in the forums (that means no advertising, pitching services, or looking for partners).

I was wondering how other people managed to start scaling their business faster. did you guys work with partners or do any deals?

To maximize your investment, use financing options like FHA or conventional loans, analyze deals based on cash flow and cap rates, and network with local investors through REI meetups and BiggerPockets.Good luck!

The trades can make or break a good deal. 

I think the first place to start is evaluating quality deals.
