If you can brand yourself as someone with a strong track record of getting VA buyers to the closing table efficiently, realtors will take notice and vouch for you and your clients as offers are submitted and this will show tremendous value to borrower clients.  

He is very close to moving in.  

There are a lot of affordable properties in Knoxville, but the growth isn't terribly vibrant and the deman isn't what you'd expect for a city of that size and that close to the Smokies - you're mostly looking at college rentals for the meat of the move season, and the SF market, while it exists, doesn't really compare to Chattanooga. 

Here’s the winning formula successful local house buyers and wholesalers use to connect with sellers, close deals, and create win-win solutions:Be Relentless: Show up every day with positivity and persistence.

You’ll likely need to look beyond the city limits (in areas that are still close enough to the city to benefit from its local economic tailwinds) if you want to find deals that pencil out.

I started off wholesaling and I closed on 7 properties.

With $50K and a DSCR loan, your budget will likely cap at properties in the $150K-$170K range, depending on the closing costs and any repairs needed.

I of course would need to look for the deals and do letter of intents on properties and find them and they would come with me to the closing table pulling out equity and then getting the cashflow.

When we found this deal the community had around 45 homes in it, now we are close to 60 total homes and looking to bring that number up to around 80.

I'm looking to scale & use private lenders to expedite closing.
