Quote from @James Hampton: How about a quick check before you have to charge a screening fee? 

For example, if they need a quick sale, emphasize your ability to close fast.

When they move out, I can access their account to charge for cleaning and repairs.

This is a humongous audience to tap into so you have to take advantage of it sooner rather than later to find great real estate deals and motivated sellers.Your best bet to connect with people quickly is to run Facebook ads and promoted posts.

As for funding, hard money can cut into profits, but it’s useful for scaling quickly.

It's a winning combination of direct access to industry experts coupled with building lasting relationships and get direct feedback on your strategies in small-group format.

Everyone says to find properties and build a buyer's list, but neither matter if you can't calculate the repair costs and also get access to a friend or colleague who has MLS so you can do a proper and real ARV (the other part where all wholesalers fail).

In order to have checkbook control, the IRA account will need to be at a trust company that will allow the IRA to invest in an LLC (where you will be the manager and your IRA will be member - an as manager you will have checkbook access to the LLC bank account).

Sold it for a profit fairly quickly.
