Hello BP,Im currently looking to connect with more experienced investors in south fl doing larger deals. 10-20 units.I could swing 10 by myself but interested to ride with a bigger investor looking to partner on larger deals.I would be an equity partner only.Also looking to lend hard money to  active flippers and investors in the Delray Beach area in the shorter term while waiting on the right larger deal as a buy and hold.Direct message me for details and available cash available to lend.

Looking to network with an experienced Wholesaler in the Atlanta area any recommendations?

I know there are pro's & con's to each, just looking for more experienced opinions as I've never done a direct mailing.

Definitely go ahead and get together with an experienced multifamily developer in your area so you can truly understand the ins and out of what you would be getting into and potentially partner up with him/them if you decide to move forward.I'm not a developer nor do I have experience in ground up developing so I can help you further, but I hope this helps.Good luck!

Since then, I have experienced a veritable revolving door of disappointments.  

My income is $140k gross (software engineer), my wife currently stays at home with our child, but could go bring in $30k-$40k if needed.My question is if we put the $150k down (with $100k via a HELOC), rent out the back, and do some airbnb ($100-$150 in the area) with the extra rooms in the main house.   

I'm hoping to connect with some experienced investors in Texas and across the country, and build some long-lasting relationships!

Great realtor to back into values2. builders to get idea of vertical sq ft costs3. land planner/ engineer for the city county state permitting process.So I find out the big rocks.. then hone in a property that seems good.put it into contract .. then I hire a consulting engineer land planner to do a feasablity study.. if your an existing bigger client they usually do them for free .. in exchange to get your work.but most likely you will have to pay for it.. 5 to 10k is what you can expect.this will include what needs to be done for regulatory approvals.will include environmental hurdles IE who you have to hire / do yo need a wetlands study etc.basic take off on infrastructure costs..

It may definitely get in the way when it comes to beginner investors looking immediately to Zillow or Redfin for properties and property values (as they usually do), but for experienced investors I believe they will be able to see right through their deals.
