I am in by no means promoting these syndication though haha.... in the last two months, i found those two deals , one in MF and one in industrial, the key thing that makes them attractive is that the new sponsor can assume the 3-4% loan from previous owner. 

This property was very enticing to my investor as the possibilities of a full 3rd story addition would make this one of the largest homes in the area.

But agreed, the equity piece here is the enticing piece to me. 

That is how it is promoted in the videos on youtube. 

Obviously that's not the full story...I'm Canadian/Floridan by WAY of California..just kidding The reality is that the value of the Oregon Coast is enticing whether the intended use is for STR or not.

As a beginner, do you wield the charisma to entice another investor to follow you with little experience?   

Generally: 1) you need to call a list of LIKELY motivated sellers like high equity, seller/property of a certain age, inside your buy box, notice of default/liens/etc. 2) You need to make an enticing pitch, "Hi Mr Seller, I'm Gus and I work at ABC Solutions, a local family owned business that helps sellers get cash fast for their homes, would you be interested in an all-cash offer for your home?

More educational and networking rather than promoting products and services.

In our experience, the S8 guru/scammers promote buying Class D properties and then renting them out to S8 voucher holders.It takes a lot of hustle and probably legally bribing the tenant with an appliance or two, to get them to move into a bad area.No telling how long they will stay either. 

You may be able to create a Zillow account and promote the open house on that site which would likely get the most eyeballs on your potential open house.
