And Montgomery County can be a tale of 2 cities with the eastern part of the county being drastically different from the western part of the county.

Hey this lender that I’ve never heard of messaged me on Instagram and is offering me zero doc nothing down 3% rates on a 30 year term for 100% LTV for new “ flippers” .........

Through bank to bank, western union , Money gram transaction.How did you add value to the deal?

I'm hoping my tale can inspire anyone reading this to always strive for more, never take no for an answer, and don't be afraid to stretch yourself beyond your perceived limitations.For a little back story, here's my first real post on BP when I started (beware, I'm a long winded sob)https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/223/topics/371714-making-my-splash-in-real-estate-6-units-in-11-monthsI started 2018 owning 10 properties, 15 total units.

Good cautionary tale for all those investors out there who are always looking to hire the cheapest contractor.

@Michinori Kaneko I really can't make heads or tales of your first paragraph's ramblings.As to the 2nds: I take no offense, as every single experienced landlord on here knows- there is no one being taken advantage of.

Follow big wholesalers on Instagram, they provide a lot of free content as well. 

It's "The Instagram of Podcast".

However, I am confident that I would be able to successfully generate buyer and seller leads at scale using Google/Facebook/Instagram ads, so I am tempted.I've also thought about using my marketing experience to get leads for distressed properties and then wholesale them, but again I'm a newbie when it comes to investing in real estate, so I don't even know if that's practical in my area (Seattle).Are there any other paths I could take that comes to mind?
