Recently, I have shifted my focus towards identifying property flipping opportunities in smaller markets in the SE, and I am enthusiastic about the prospect of forging new professional relationships and connections.

Some investors opt for larger homes with more bedrooms, while others convert existing residential properties to fit more people comfortably, ensuring they meet safety and accessibility standards.One thing to consider—smaller operations like RAL often rely on word of mouth and local reputation to fill rooms, so community engagement and relationships with local health care providers are key to success.PS: Fun fact—by 2030, it’s projected that more than 20% of the U.S. population will be over the age of 65, which makes senior housing a high-demand sector for decades to come. 

These are typically provided by the borrower's professional property manager.

Some of our initial baseline, no-go, criteria when we first listed were: 600+ credit score, no evictions, no bankruptcy, and income 3x rent... however, after finding that very few interested parties were eligible to even "enter a review phase" of landlord verifications etc, we loosened up a bit and went to an objective scoring model that I tweaked from a few ideas obtained after speaking to both rental professionals in my local area and some on this forum. 

Also need to focus on markets/communities that strike the balance of relatively low land cost, strong rental demand and include professional property management to strategically minimize vacancies and maximize rental income from day one.If you have more questions, feel free to reach out!

These groups "find the deal" by raising money for other operator/syndicators, they market themselves (often with tag lines on LinkedIn of: I help busy (fill in industry) professionals create passive income through real estate),  They raise money from their own network and funnel it into a syndicators deal for part of the GP ownership.  

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

Let’s dig deeper into these teams of professionals.

However, after a successful first wholesale deal, I realized wholesaling wasn't the right fit for me and I took a break from real estate to explore other opportunities.I'm now excited to dive back into real estate investing and am eager to network with other investors and real estate professionals in the area.
