Call every local investor agenda (look at the agents that have investment property listings and call them) and call every local landlord that owns multiple properties (you can get lists off of Deal Machine).

I have about 100k in assets both personal and business I could sell, but part of me thinks that’s extreme and I’ll sell “myself” along the way with all my stuff.  

I think the 10-14% rate is where it will be for the next five or so years personally so plenty of opportunity

I'm a realtor and investor in Indianapolis and happy to share some insights tailored to your questions.1.

When you mentioned selling and other investors being involved.

Start with a contractor that has a lot of 5 star reviews.You can join some facebook groups and network with investors in your area.

Syndicators do not collude with each other to keep returns to investors down.

I’m personally based in Houston, TX, and I’ve noticed over the years that a good realtor can do a lot more for an investor than just listing a property.

Also, get all personal info (DOB, SSN) from the seller in case needed when talking to lenders, lienholders, etc.

I just jumped into the first investor group I was able to find.
