The writing on the wall tells us Airbnb will be the biggest player in this space very soon (if they aren't already), and I want a good presence on there, with great reviews and Superhost status.Just my take.

Stay away from Evolve, Vacasa and the other large players.

If you are still interested in this deal after your research and thinking about the potential upside, then you can begin your 'pitch' by assuring the sellers that they'd save time AND money by dealing with you directly.

As an investor-focused real estate agent, I can assure you that there are areas in Atlanta that can vary block by block.

I am a small player, but I can complete projects in months, not years.

I can assure you that.  

Assure them that this process can lead to a fast and smooth transaction without the usual market hassles.Be honest about the property’s condition and why your offer might be lower than the asking price.

REI Live is one meetup group in Sarasota put on by some major players in the area, another local one started up and has a FB group called Suncoast Real Estate Investors that was meeting monthly, there’s another larger one that meets at the Bradenton yacht club for lunch buffet monthly, and one more that meets monthly at a Holiday Inn near Der Dutchman off Bahia Vista.

@Jodi Adams I see it is your first post so welcome to BP.I am not sure there is a legitimate tax sale trainer that is a national player.

I am interested in investing in real estate in the DFW area (specifically Denton) with creative financing methods, and I am trying to expand my network of players in the game of real estate.
