The seller had attempted to buy me out of the deal but ultimately realized they had no legal grounds to back out.

It is a great deal for the silent investor as they typically make 50% - 100% COC in less than a year.

Happy to help point you in the right direction and give my insight if you want to shoot me a message.Best of luck!

 Hey GUYSOver the years, I’ve worked on creating high-converting funnels for marketing agencies, and one thing I’ve noticed is that the core principles of attracting, nurturing, and converting leads are just as relevant for real estate investors.I’ve been diving into strategies that could help investors streamline their deal flow, attract motivated sellers, and build better relationships with private lenders.

Feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to dig deeper into the chaos I've immersed myself in over the last 10 years or so.Cheers and drive safe

Most investors are excited AND simultaneously nervous on their first few deals!

I don't think you need to open a direct California LLC. 

Platforms like BiggerPockets, local REI meetups, and Facebook groups can connect you with investors seeking opportunities.Joint Venture Partnerships: Consider partnering with a seasoned developer or investor who can provide the capital while you contribute your vision and operational effort.Hard Money Loans: If you’ve identified a property, some hard money lenders may fund the purchase and development based on the future value (ARV) of the project.Crowdfunding Platforms: Sites like Fundrise, Groundfloor, and RealtyMogul cater to real estate developments and could be a great way to gather capital.Seller Financing: If the land seller is open to it, negotiate terms to finance the purchase directly with them.2.

There may also be incrementally better probability of deals, as investors who are dependent on rates coming down may find their hopes disappointed. 

Send me a Direct Message and I will be able to point you in the right direction.All the best.
