I can't tell you how many times when people would contact my agents fresh out of guru school.. and talk a BIG game  we are going to buy 20 30 properties we are building a team blah blah blah.. when in fact most of them borrowed the money for the course and are now trying to do business with smoke and mirrors.. real investors that have money if you lay this out the right way will probably go for it.. and SELLERS I can see that for sure.. but then again in the retail resi space so many people just are clueless and or really have very little liquidity that even sending you 1000 bucks up front could be a risk and stretch for them..

There are several reasons that someone would liquidate a home quickly, and a targeted marketing campaign like sending out mail pieces could put you in front of those sellers.

If you are a solid investor focused agent, I’d be game to discuss land development + ground up construction of a well designed building you'll be fine in Fort Lauderdale or anywhere in South Florida. you will probably need more liquidity than existing but the deals are much better. 

and my real estate is actually fairly liquid, if i listed at the right price (which I don't intend to, since I plan to hold forever, but if I did) i could sell fairly quickly. 

We are on the final stretch in getting a debt fund established; and look forward to the increased liquidity it will allow us to pull in. 

We have now cut our liquid capitol in half.  

If you don't have the cash to buy the program your 99% not going to be able to execute ANY program.. that is one thing I saw with the fix and flip trainers that I did not care for and one thing I think BP is correct on better to save what little liquidity you have buy some real estate.. 

You also don't want to lend on a property you know you couldn't liquidate and get your capital back incase of default.

Quote from @Josh Green: I personally am buying and helping clients buy in the Tampa Bay Area for a few reasons:Here, you have a historically strong and consistent tourism presence, limited land/STR allowable areas, highly liquid property compared to selling a cabin in the woods, all 9 classes of visitors in the STR sector, and appreciation.

It is presented as a liquid that is spread over an existing roof after some preparation.
