They aren't going to communicate better once you've done a deal.

We get an extra 3 deals a month from it.

To maximize your investment, use financing options like FHA or conventional loans, analyze deals based on cash flow and cap rates, and network with local investors through REI meetups and BiggerPockets.Good luck!

Just normal stuff that happens in this biz when you're dealing with so many variables and things like that.At the end of the day, what you want is someone who will shoot you straight and who will do what they said they would.

@Richard Schubert If the house next door is a solid enough deal you could always raise the money from people in your network to tie it up.

A brrrr deal would be perfect for me.

Some may tell you that you can systematize anything, but the problem is, every individual home is different (even the newer cookie cutter neighborhoods).Focus on two or three neighborhoods and know what a good deal looks like in those pockets.I would also temper your expectations as far as finding a lot of equity on MLS.  

Yes, im not sure about deal sourcing at least at my level because I dont make that much from the investment side of my business right now and I feel there would be a lot of training involved.

Only caution is if they don’t have checkbook control and there’s a time crunch going through the custodian can cause delays and red tape to deal with.  

I am a GP on one of their deals.
