My conversion rate was higher because they kind of look like a wedding invite.In regard to lenders, join meetups and local facebook groups and ask for referrals.I’m doing larger commercial deals now and found I wasted a Ton of money on direct mail.

@Brian Jackson  -- I am Becca's agent that is helping her get her new property closed -- would love to have a conversation about Indianapolis if that is an area that you are interested in.

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.

Facebook is the last place you want to find private money. whats unfortunate is real estate professionals are still advertising to us newbies Facebook is the place to find the lender.Who said that?

Based on conversations, I think it might be a little of #2.  

Companies like State Farm, Allstate, or Chubb often come up in conversations, but comparing quotes with independent brokers might give you the best value.Since you're in a general partnership, it”s critical to clearly define liability exposure.

So ya-see Jimmy, that's how we have a FACT-BASED conversation on "I can land 1%+ deals no problem"........

The good news is that there are plenty of great CPAs out there including on these forums.We did have a conversation with him, which is why we selected him in the first place.

Conversely, you will run into people on your list that just seem to be a waste of time, so you’ll want to avoid them.

Include a lender in your conversations that specializes in working with investors.
