Most of our housing stock is 60 to 120 years old and requires a lot of capex, especially the bottom of the barrel properties are typically fools gold, because capex will exceed cash flow over a few years.

Most agents don't know anything about investing (especially the costs of fix and flip), but the ones that do are gold.

Competition..However, most investors are not aware of off-market properties..But not any off-market, the undervalued ones.These Deals are gold..Most investors don’t know how to really get them .Some do direct mail , cold calling , chasing people down and begging for deals.And except to get those deals.The Thing is those deals are not on the radar for a reason.And to get those deals, there is a very simple set of requirements that need to be met and systems that have to be implemented .Once you know these requirements and systems, it's just a matter of executing them properly and with consistency..And the undervalued off-market deals will come to you.It really is that easy….I’ve getting off-market properties for over 3 years now without even working to get them.Like 2 years ago I got this off-market deal and it was just a piece of land in the desert .For real .And I took it for 20k.No one I know didn’t make fun of me.They call me stupid .But I trust the requirements and the systems.Now 3 years later this land is worth almost $700.000 ($642k).It's all thanks to the fact that I can find undervalued off-market properties..And no, I start with nothing and zero connections..But that doesn't matter, because you don't need to have the connections, to be a sweet talker or have millions in the bank.If you’re sick of finding deals .Then all you need to have are requirements and systems to get you off-market deals.But please just don’t think that cold calling is the way.It’s sad.I will write another post about the systems and requirements to get those deals.just be open-minded that there are systems to get off-market deals.And that’s why some investors make millions and some don’t .They have step-by-step systems that guarantee getting those deals.Thanks for reading,

It took years for me to find the right fit with some of our partnership groups, but once you hit gold...game on. 

You can upgrade to the gold package with them so the skip tracing is included.

The criteria varies with each market.. for some markets it has to be a 3+ bedroom + pool,  for many places it's absolute gold to have at least a mother in law suite but best to have 2 or 3 small units, etc etc..There are a ton of seller finance opportunities here as well (not many actually advertise it but they're open to it once you chat with them).

There's plenty of gold in there!

There can be gold in knowing their social handles, both for screening prior to approval and to attempt contact if they disappear. 

Your list of questions for the lender is a gold mine! 

Just like when someone wants to own gold, silver or platinum.
