Despite if it works and or what anyone says... arbitrage will always  have a special place in my heart since it was what got me started in this RE game. 

Agree 100% especially if they don't have capital and a capital sponsor wants 75% or more - something better than nothing especially when you don't have skin in the game 

Palak,Many online tools like RentSavvy, Avail, Turbotenant, RentRedi, Apartment.com help you do this process. 

In-person interactions are great for building trust with potential investors.Real Estate Platforms:BiggerPockets: A robust platform for connecting with private lenders and investors.Fund That Flip, PeerStreet, Groundfloor: Online platforms connecting investors with real estate projects.Social Media Groups: Facebook and LinkedIn groups dedicated to real estate investing often have private investors or lenders looking to connect.Personal Network: Often overlooked, but friends, family, and colleagues may know individuals interested in investing.Private Money Brokers: If you're working on wholesaling deals, you may find brokers who have established relationships with private money lenders.Real Estate Agents: Some agents have connections with private investors, especially those focused on investment properties.For your 50% LTV, it's good to approach investors who may be interested in lower-risk, high-equity deals.

Sounds like you are a buyer, so you should know that the buyer's agent has to have you sign a buyer broker, the game changed last year but did it..

I’m an investor and student of the game when it comes to building passive income and a solid portfolio.

Start by networking through local meetups, REIA groups, and online communities like BiggerPockets to connect with experienced investors.

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.

My number one piece of advice is finding a group that you can attend online or in person to keep you motivated and accountable to your goals.
