We were very clear that we were looking for strategies and why and it all sounded good in the initial interview.

I have quite a few off market Raytown deals available as well. happy to chat anytime

Here are the details:Purchase Price: $300KDown payment if taking mortgage: 10%Available cash on hand: $40KEquity in Primary Residence: $700K - $1MSecond Home will need $10K initial investment to freshen up for personal and STR use.Assume equal rates for each product? 

The sites that have "off-market" deals, FB, or wholesaler email lists, are just another market.

Any tips for navigating the competition in such a hot market?

Also looking forward to sharing some of my experiences form the last few years in this market. 

The location and market demand further made this a great investment opportunity for a profitable flip.

Having worked with 1,000's of investors to Broker the properties I sell in my local market, and having worked with dozens of Property Managers, Turnkey Providers, Agents, Property Management Software Companies, Lenders, Inspectors and various other investment real estate vendors to market their products and services on my show, the one thing that stood out to be was the CEO Zach's obsession with the biz.In real estate we've get a lot turnover, a lot of flameout.

I found this deal off market; it was my girlfriend at the time's uncle who owned it, and we pitched him the idea of buying it from him.

Be aware that some meetups are really just marketing tools for those hosting them.
