OP, sorry about this it is my least favorite part of REI. 

Here is the Collin Hays method of buying the property at what you want to pay:Don’t ask the seller what their best offer is.

If you haven't connected with local people in your market there are several methods here.  

Hard to fault her very methodical informed decision.

I used to use the LYBYE.  Now I'm on the Panda Planner and actually like it better.  Any BP members us paper planners?

Yes, the BRRRR method can work with multifamily properties, and many investors have done it successfully.

We host Free Meetups in Boston, Worcester, Lowell, Manchester, Portsmouth, and Biddeford. 3️⃣ BRRRR Method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat):Find distressed properties, add value through renovations, and refinance to pull most of your cash back out.

They’ll find you a buyer, and you guys split the profit 50/50.GET LEADS: You do this by using free methods such as driving for dollars or networking if you don’t have any money to spend.

My thought is that the people that ARE using it for lead gen/outreach, automation etc. will keep the methods to themselves until the advantage of early adoption is done and that business segment is saturated, then they will sell courses to everybody else..

Ideally, my dream is to have a condo in my favorite neighborhood of Chicago (Lake View).I'm 24 years old.
