I've been speculating the markets in the Midwest for some time now and recently decided to make a post on BP to attain more insights from people who live & invest in these markets.

What’s your process for vetting and selecting the right people for your team?

Hi I'm gege new to the site starting the Wholesale investment and need help finding seller, where should I brand myself is there an email pitch or a call pitch I can send to seller, like people in foreclosure, or bankruptcy, or late payment and where will I get the ARV, Repair Value, Offer The price that you need to get it under contract for and  where do I get the contract form and if I get a seller and a buyer how do I get a legal person to handle all the paper work for closing.

Not here to pitch—just trying to refine the concept with insights from the people who live and breathe CRE development.

But I see people turning long term or highly appreciated primaries in to rentals.

I'm seeing a lot of people lately trying to force themselves into house hacks without an immediate cash flow/equity play and "banking" on appreciation or rates dropping. 

It has been really educational for me because we have people from all over the US with all types of experience to learn from.

Don’t be distracted by people with other plans and ways.

I have often seen many people love the idea of building, but once they figure out the cost, those ideas change.For reference, here in Chicago, you can expect new builds to be between $200-$275/SF depending on MANY factors...that's just a very rough ballpark!

I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.
