He's very nice and publishes an annual newsletter in January that reviews cap rates and sales for the years. 12 years later and in a different state, I still get and appreciate his newsletter.

While I was searing the web for planning my next step, I found this website.

I am an engineer and web designer.

I'm brand new to the world of real estate investing and am excited about learning and getting my feet wet in the near future.I currently live in Albany, NY and am originally from a few hours south in the Hudson Valley region of NY.My girlfriend, a graphic designer, and I own a small non-fiction publishing company that we operate from our home.

@Jim Sakalis Thank you for answering so quickly, I appreciate the web page.

Research the phone number.If he does not have a web site and does not have a professional email address don't use him.Another option is to find and use a mortgage broker who has already screened a handful of private and conventional lenders. 

That means they're not trying to conform to specific loan standards.There's a few dozen articles and several Web casts on bigger pockets about the BRRR deal.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/04/20/how-to-100000-dollars-year-real-estate/

Sometimes people are hesitant to recommend professionals on a web site because it can last a long time and things change. 

Anyone who pitches a  15% + IRR and only ends up achieving 10% or less should also be on the list... so maybe a 30-35% ish percent  cutoff is more aptLet us know where to find your list when it's published

Also, do you prefer to send the postcards yourself or to give the web company your list and have them mail it directly?
