I'm in CA as well, let's connect :)With a phone and strong relationships on-the-ground, man :-) 

It saves you time and helps build relationships for your business as well. 

I will illustrate an example: Guy gets hired by a company in Garfield New Jersey because of his familiarity with the industry and the relationships he has, but then decides to bring in his vendors he has a rapport already built up with as aggregators and Space Control etc.

And what I am personally seeing the Market place today.Commercial bank/ community bank were you have significant deposit relationship and long term relation ship..   7 to 10% plus 1/2 to 1.5 points.. these are relationship and experience and capacity lenders..

I am looking to do some conversions from SFH to duplex on a couple properties and build relationships for future BRRRR opportunities!

And that's just not the case her and my mom didn't have a good relationship. 

I have a seasoned GC relationship and am looking to fix and flip 10 - 20 houses in 2022. 

For the rentals, we always have a local "on call" relationship with a local investor to assist when needed.

Dont risk that relationship penny pinching.

They would be better off hiring someone who has a sales background and relationships to bring in money.
