It is not too early to contact and get to know people, I believe you should cultivate those relationships and referrals.

If she's managed to cultivate a following over time (2 or 3 years) its the same as someone self employed.

Hi Christian,Wholesaling seemed like something I wanted to do but it seemed to tedious and has a slow process then I learned about the BRRRR method and that seems better but I have no clue where to start looking and if I would want to use a hard money lender or a bank/credit union.I wouldn't write off wholesaling completely as has some advantages and can cultivate some valuable skills for beginners; finding great deals, cultivating relationships, etc.Regarding the BRRRR method, it can be a good strategy for building an investment portfolio.Generally speaking, real estate investors would use a hard money lender for the first "B" and "R", or "Buy" and "Renovate", and use a bank/credit union for the second-to-last "R", "Refinance".Hope this helps,Michael

Go to the local REIA you can find them on FB and see if you can find a great realtor or contractor and start cultivating that relationship.

These deals are obviously live now, so unfortunately due to my poor planning i do not have the time to cultivate deep relationships with LPs etc.

@Lucas Gibson - To truly be a successful investor, you need to cultivate the right mindset and be a constant learner.

We're looking to cultivate long-lasting relationships in this market, please reach out with any questions!

If you are seriously looking at pursuing the deal reach out now, if nothing else to find out if there is a deal to be had and to cultivate the relationship. 

Unless you’ve cultivated a team you can trust it’s not worth the headaches

My relationships with players/coaches, successes, failures, and injuries have all cultivated a grit mindset, relational skills, and a motor for success.
