Once again, Chris and the team communicated frequently about preparations and damage control.

These are the best options for finding sellers willing to transact in today's market at cap rates that make sense to the current interest rate environment, in order to capitalize on the upcoming favorable market conditions over the next few years such as spiking rent growth, falling vacancy, and compressing cap rates.Interest Rate ProjectionsLooking at the Federal Reserves Dot Plot, which is released every quarter and is the federal reserves outlook on where they believe the Fed Funds Rate, which does not control fixed-rate financing but does influence it, as well as directly affects floating rate financing, is predicted to be 3% - 3.25% by Year End 2027 (Source), currently sitting at 4.25% - 4.5% today.

If you start a JV in name but do not give your partners proper control and decision-making rights and the deal goes bad you open yourself up to serious consequences which can lead to SEC violations with extremely high fines.Lastly, you can offer the project up to investors who have no voting or control.  

For example, for a business owner; they have no practical way to 1031 exchange.

Many times they do not realize the adding of the adu makes their existing unit rent controlled.  

I have a call scheduled with someone on his team for Monday & hopefully that gives a little better direction / insight into best practices for new members.  

Let go of what you cannot control, and become a lot more emotionally stable to start investing.

Quote from @Adam Macias: Wholesaling as it is today will be a thing of the past.It’ll truly be strange to even hear people and gurus trying to make big money off it.The more people try wholesaling but then end up not having an end buyer or cancelling contracts or trying weird things like novations, the more all of real estate will be regulated and cause requirements like licensing to be able to transact more than just your personal resident purchase.Which I don't know why hasn't happened sooner.Here's all the states (in red or yellow) requiring a license to wholesale or at least have started the process:Credit: REITipsterI think licensing and regulation is a beautiful thing that should happen if you plan to be an wholesaler and do more than one deal... which is going to be the case for anyone taking this business seriously.Or even it being regulated to need a real estate agent to do more than one deal outside of buying a personal residence.I've had plenty of failed attempts with agents in pursuit of wholesale deals and I know exactly why, it's not because the agent couldn't find me deals, it's just not practical to think there's opportunity for the numbers a wholesaler needs to make a profit on top of everyone else needing to these days.Because the only sellers who truly can sell at a deep enough discount are usually those who ran out of time and just didn't do something sooner with their situation.I know many coaches and gurus will disagree with me but there’s no regulations on youtube gurus and what they teach either.If we look at the current state of the market in hot cities, the availability of online resources to the average homeowner, how many deals can you possibly believe are available at 70% of ARV?

In the thread of a conversation, statements may be made that are fine within the context of the conversation, but may not reflect well or accurately when the snippet arises within a search engine or other index tool.There may also be information that I/we are happy to share with the BP community, but not necessarily with the Internet-at-large, especially any details about our specific properties or business practices and processes.

Also make sure you are comfortable with some holding costs if the units don't get rented right away (if vacant).Also look into if there is rent control in the area that the property is located.
