Quote from @Bob Stevens: Quote from @Nadeem Alamgir: Try interviewing some investor-friendly agents who specialize in sourcing off-market deals.

We just went under contract on a duplex in Fayetteville - GA, and are looking for an investor-friendly general contractor for the rehab. 

I have a close friend who successfully flipped a self-storage facility, making nearly a million on one project, solely through direct mail.

The market was increasing and we were able to find an off-market deal from some friends who held the property for over a year had no interest in fixing it up.

I have purchased a lot once before, but this was under the expert tutelage of a builder friend of mine in a different market (Colorado).

Anytime my friend!!

For the purpose of this exercise, I would like to start by separating syndications into two categories: (1) smaller capital raises that will only attract the friends and family sized checks because they require too much brain damage for those with the larger check writing capabilities;  and (2) syndications with capital raises large enough to fit within the investment parameters of true private equity/family office check writing capabilities. 

Adding filters on Airbnb that are always targeted (are you pet friendly, do you have alt text on your pictures to hit more categories, maximizing number of beds, certain amenities like sauna/hot tub, etc)3.

This approach works well for wholesalers who sell deals to flippers, and flippers or realtors can benefit even more by taking the extra step to generate their own off-market leads.No one said methods like cold calling, direct mail, or Facebook/Google ads won’t help a realtor find off-market opportunities.Just a friendly thought, especially given the high costs associated with Zillow leads.

Parts of Pennsylvania, like Allentown or Scranton, also offer good opportunities within driving distance, with lower property costs and more landlord-friendly regulations.
