Here is my plan… I will analysis 100 properties by June 15th to cultivate intuition and to find areas that have a good price/rent ratio that will match my goal.

If you start to cultivate investors only after you know about the deal, two bad things could happen: You make the investors feel rushed because the clock really is ticking on that deal.

I use direct mail, promote my website, social media but they all seem to take time to cultivate. 

The #1 thing i keep hearing to be successful in this industry is to cultivate and maintain great relationships.

In order to assert a claim of adverse possession in California, the claimant (party seeking to gain title to the property) must demonstrate:possession under a claim of right or color of title;actual, open, notorious occupation (protected by a substantial enclosure such as a fence and usually cultivated or improved);adverse and hostile possession;continuous possession for a period of five years; andpayment of all taxes assessed against the property during the five-year period.

I invest locally in Pittsburgh, and I could not imagine giving up the contacts and relationships I've cultivated over the years because the county next door has slightly more landlord-friendly laws and ordinances.

That, combined with cultivating private lender relationships, will give you the buying power you need to perpetually grow your portfolio while you simultaneously pay off one loan after another.That's the high-level version of how we've achieved financial independence, and I'm convinced that virtually anybody can do likewise.  :-)

Rather than blacklisting the bad contractors, I'd put my time into cultivating the good ones because "bad" can be very subjective.

That is, you’ve unknowingly cultivated a built-in set of partners.If you’re able to find STR properties for your investors.

You will NOT find people willing to lend you money 100% just because you are asking.After about 15 years of experience, several Facebook pages showing my deals being completed, website, blog, and working with lots of people and giving out TONS of information, I cultivated several private lenders.
