Another common problem is poor due diligence—jumping into deals without verifying the borrower or collateral often leads to future regrets.I’ve also seen over-leveraged borrowers cause trouble, prioritizing other creditors over private lenders.

Sometimes it’s the small steps that lead to the biggest leaps.

The wrong tenant can lead to non-payment, evictions, and property damage.

Using these parts of local zoning can lead to potential deals.  

This leads me back to my mother, as she approaches her end years, I hate to think about this, but she wants to leave my sister and I one of the houses I mentioned earlier.

Hi Jessica, I would suggest getting a propstream or any other lead generation account, finding cash buyers who bought similiar properties to yours in the last 3-6 months in the area of the properties you are looking to sell, skip trace then cold call or cold texting the list. 

This lead to piecing together payments here and there and drastically slowed the construction process and major cost overruns.

It could indicate they lack sufficient knowledge or experience in professional property management, which may lead to costly issues for you down the line.

All the leads I've found so far have balked at either the "investment property" requirement, the "in California" requirement (or both!)

I have made my own list of leads as well with some properties that I find vacant, probate, tax lien. but have only helped an out of state realtor on a deal a yr ago. and 2025 I would like to have the right people to go to with questions and or properties when I talk/find home owners that are willing to get rid of the property as well.
