What I have seen is an internal sales team (AE's/Reps who split their time between referral partner development and managing their pipeline) combined with someone solely responsible for digital marketing (social media, SEO, ppc).

@Ritu MahajanBuild a solid local team, including contractors, property managers, and lenders experienced with BRRRR.

i currently use ocuplant realty team and denson construction for the 7 properties I have in detroit. did you get a property @Jesse Streng

I think that the team and moderators will all be aligned with this philosophically. 

Same broker team i used for the 1st one.

For crowdsource investments on Republic, StartEngine, etc there's a great resource called Kingscrowd that reviews each investment offering and gives details and ratings on the team behind the project.

A good team on the ground should be able to help you avoid all of these potential pitfalls. 

Now of course there are still deals to be had out there, I am not saying that, but its a lot harder to find those deals today than five years ago when everything was a deal due to low interest rates.We are always buying but this is my business, so we have a team etc. to manage it.

I would check on this website on the find an agent feature or search Zillow for teams/agents in your area doing 25 or more deals a year.
