Casper’s land market can be a bit like tracking a rare species in the wild.. you’ve got to know where to look, who to trust, and how to time your move.

You can start with interviewing 2-3 agents and look for proven track record.

With that said, we really know what works and what doesn’t, we have a strict process as it’s proven and are selective with who we take on as clients.  

I find it more helpful to track on my total cash into the deal (inclusive of furniture, amenities, etc), so cash on cash and monthly net cash flow are the two metrics I find are most informative when I'm looking at a purchase. 

Here are some key red flags to watch for:🔴 Lack of experience: A borrower without a proven track record in real estate projects may struggle to navigate unexpected challenges.🔴 Overly optimistic projections: Unrealistic ARV (after-repair value) or underestimated rehab costs can signal poor planning—or worse, a lack of transparency.🔴 Incomplete or disorganized documentation: Missing detailed plans, financial statements, or timelines could mean the borrower isn’t ready to execute the project successfully.🔴 Over-leveraged finances: Borrowers with excessive debt or insufficient personal capital invested in the deal could pose a greater risk of default.🔴 Questionable property comps: Overstated market values or inappropriate comparables may mean they’re inflating expectations.As always, thorough due diligence is your best protection.

This can be time consuming and frustrating to keep track of.

You want the fast-track for finding whos-who, call everyone.

It was a nightmare to keep track of everything.Baselane has simplified my rent collection process significantly.

Pay for dinners, lunch (rich people love freebies).You are on the right track to search for a "hand hold".

I know it will help to have a mentor and connections to immensely fast track my goal but there was no way I could come up with $40k that time (after reading abit in BP, creative financing sure is interesting!)
