I think it’s disingenuous for a guru to claim they created a new method that is “revolutionizing” real estate lending, when it’s actually just rebranding something that exists and charging more for it.

This shows if they understand the unique needs of someone who isn’t local.Local market knowledge – Get their thoughts on the current market and what trends they’re seeing in your target area.Communication and responsiveness – Ask about their preferred communication methods and how quickly they respond to inquiries.

Hey guys , what is your preferred method to find off market leads ?

My partner and I decided not to over complicate things with this method.

I am interested in starting out with the fix & flip and BRRRR methods in the middle Georgia area.

I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.

These methods help you find owners who might sell but haven't listed their properties yet.Advantages: Owners might not consider selling until you make an attractive offer.

Playing the long game, it's not for those chasing rainbows, definently for the LT planned methodical focus. 

Find Brandon's videos on YouTube for the "four square" method of analyzing homes and practice.

I read Chad Carson's Small and Mighty Real Estate Investing and I think my path is most aligned with what he calls the "live and fix" method.
