I was driving home from one of the walkthroughs last night and lamenting the work that needs to be done and the money spent when it occurred to me how much money we've made on that house since we bought it. 

“Lyons, I love seeing someone with your drive and vision diving into multifamily real estate in LA—you’re in one of the most competitive and opportunity-rich markets out there.

DealMachine is a powerful tool for real estate investors, especially for finding off-market deals through driving for dollars.

It is possible, but you have to put in the work; driving for dollars, mailer campaigns, cold calling, building lists, etc.  

You could drive by their place to see what the area is like and what's going on.

An in person meet (even if you have to drive 4 hours) would be the best way.

And I do have the photos at the end by design, because I want a person to end the experience with a specific feeling of "oh wow, look at that, it's got that too", which helps drive conversion. 

GO DRIVE A TRUCK IRL.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

It takes me 10~ minutes to get on Lake Shore drive, then it's pretty easy to navigate the city.
