It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

I would like to continue using my excavation company and network of contractors as a vessel to push deeper into this realestate thing.

@Kiryl Ulanovich,You're on the right track:Get Pre-Approval from Hard Money Lender – Know your terms and limits upfront.Find a Deal Through a Wholesaler – Verify numbers and ensure it meets your criteria.Review the Assignment of Contract – Confirm terms, earnest money, and contingencies.Conduct Due Diligence – This includes an inspection (if allowed), verifying ARV, and rehab estimates.Submit to Hard Money Lender for Final Approval – Lender will review title, contract, and property condition.Title Search & Clear Any Issues – Ensure a clean title before closing.Close Through Title Company – Finalize funding and take ownership.Consider also lining up contractors early for a smooth transition into renovations.

My next step is to open a company in the United States, most likely in the state of Nevada.

Follow all safety requirements your Insurance Company plus city and county require.This usually includes childproof access and alarms.

This will help you close deals faster.Focus on marketing and lead generation to find motivated sellers—direct mail, driving for dollars, and online marketing all work well here.Know your numbers—being able to accurately assess the value of properties and make solid offers is key.Network with other investors and professionals—attend local REI meetups, connect with title companies, and build relationships with hard money lenders.Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat more or exchange ideas!

How do I go about finding the best banks or companies to get pre-approvals and is it worthwhile to get multiple?

The companies you will find in the lender finder section of BP are probably mostly companies as opposed to a private person like you are referring to.

Local investors can now get additional discounts by moving up the food chain and buying as notes and, on mortgages secured by vacant properties, utilizing the preREO strategy to generate revenue during foreclosure process.

All this is stuff other wholesalers and off market companies invest in to find deals (like me).WORK ETHIC: be honest with yourself...how willing are you to go down this road?
