After Powell said he will pencil in 3 rate cuts, the housing market started the craze again (Bay Area heavily tied to stock market). 

Lady lived alone, went to work every day, came home and drank 6-12+ beers in her recliner.

It's a killer market with very friendly regulations, since the local economy depends heavily on vacation rentals.  

This decision will heavily influence your strategy selection.2.

If anyone has any other suggestions I’d heavily appreciate it! 

Heavily geared towards wholesaling and generating leads with FB ads and groups. 

This leaves friends/relatives wanting to help you out (emotional based investing) or people unsophisticated and naive (likely disciples of a currently heavily promoted guru).When I, or any other investors (with significant capital) I know of invest, either equity or debt), we only consider deals where (1) the “sponsor”, or borrower have a significant investment of their own capital, unless they’ve owned the property many years.  

I wouldn't necessarily say that this shift is here to stay, but we definitely have to make some changes to our acquisition process to accommodate creative deals and novations.This shift is due to the saturation of the major markets, resulting in newcomers in the business offering too much for properties and not delivering on those promises, realtors promising too much for listings only to have them heavily decreased or canceled six months later, and the small increase in supply that we have experienced since the beginning of the year.But yes!

Learn to serve others to and don’t focus on the money part so heavily, that will come with time if you are helping others solve their pain points.  

I invest heavily in this area as an agent.
