Hey Noah Hope Your Doing Great ,My name is Dequan, and I'm a wholesaler specializing in distressed properties in Ohio, Virginia, and Pennsylvania.I came across your message and wanted to add to the suggestion of using Facebook groups to network with real estate investors.

Investors think in numbers, exit strategies, and long-term plays, while homebuyers think in emotion and monthly payments.What are some of the biggest differences you’ve noticed when working with or transitioning into real estate investing?

I'm looking for a skilled sales rep who can help me connect with landlords in Florida (especially the Palm Bay area) and Georgia.If you're interested in collaborating, I'd love to chat more about how we can work together and what your experience is in real estate sales and landlord outreach.Let's connect soon!

is there anything more going on with this company - they never answer their phone..never call back...seems like the best thing they did was write a book about the industry..I like the market segment they are going after but does not seem real if they cant answer a call

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

The returns that investors require is generally based on their perceived risk of the project and the investment period.With my CFO clients who do real estate development, most LPs in the small-scale residential space (SFR & 2-4 MF) are investing for 3-5 years and are looking for a preferred return of 8% with an IRR of 16%-18% for turn-key and 18%-24% for value add.

Reason I ask is there are going to be a lot of real estate ventures where ALL money is lost, and many are due to poor management or buying a deal they should not buy.

The capital stack especially in CA is VERY complex and typically involves everything and more that you mentioned.

I got into real estate through an organic relationship, nor would I be where I'm at today if it wasn't for those relationships. 

It’s crucial to consult a real estate attorney and tax advisor to structure the transfer in a way that minimizes tax consequences and aligns with your objectives.
