Getting pre-approved, networking with local investors and agents, and understanding LA’s market challenges will set you up for success.Good luck!

Networking OpportunitiesThe most underrated benefit of joining a coaching program is the networking.

I happen to be looking for gap funders myself for a number of my house flip projects in Houston, TX and finding gap funders or any kind of private money involves a lot of networking and putting myself out there to meet potential lenders.

That’s something I’m actively exploring—whether it’s through direct-to-seller marketing, networking with local wholesalers, or even tapping into connections through my brother-in-law, who works with builders and contractors in the area.I’m not expecting slam-dunk deals or easy wins, but the numbers on a few potential projects I’ve run so far seem to work under the assumption that I’ll leave some cash in the deals.

While we are not tax professionals ourselves, we do share how we ourselves have made millions and paid very little taxes along the wayAlso @Eli Edwards A network of relocation specialists is not a reason to invest in a course.  

I’d recommend you do the same.It all started when we interviewing Lendbase we were told that all of the lenders in the Lendbase network accepted their underwriting.
