so you need to be going to meetups, getting to know investors who source off market deals, getting to know investors who want agents to list if and when they need to list for any reason, etc. 

You can search on Google, attend REI meetings, or explore Facebook groups.People invest a lot of time and energy in generating off-market leads, and connecting with reliable, reputable sources who supply quality deals can be a game changer.

I've even heard of GCs using auction type settings for returned items at Home Depot and Lowes for steep discounts.I've learned a lot about the GC game as I was up close to over 40 projects last two years and some went well and some did not and when they did not it was all Contractor related.If a GC isn't sourcing cheap materials at the same time milking the hell out of his 150-200 per day workers, then you can find yourself eating into your margins real fast.

First off, you should know that getting a loan as a foreigner in Mexico is quite difficult—most traditional lending options aren’t available, so you’ll likely have to explore alternative financing or fund the construction yourself.When it comes to managing the property as a short-term rental, you'll need to decide whether you want to open a small company in Mexico.
