Hey Guys and girls I am a Investor just like you my first 18 month was random and confusing.After that I spent time investing into my education and went out and did deals.I have wholesaled deals I have a few rentals in Detroit and I am always looking for a flip.I have a few coming on the market soon. 

Hi Bigger Pockets!My name is Lea ColeI am in a bit of a pickle but i will explain everything throughout this discussion post...***Skip to short summary if you do not wish to read my offly long story!!!***In Philadelph...

People can't expect you to go broke trying to do your first deal before getting in "the club"

I've found no fewer than 9 multi family dwellings that are ripe for the plucking but I'm so broke I can't afford a free phone call. by my estimates, these properties combined would net me $8,600 a month in revenue depending on mortgage payments. it is painfully frustrating to see these numbers and not have the knowledge to obtain the capitol to put them in my portfolio.

Sheriff's were called out and essentially, we were told that we would need to go through the eviction process, even though they essentially broke into the home, furnished it, turned on utilities, and established themselves as tenants by trespassing.

Since the commission on a $30k deal is peanuts, I get the new girl/guy but I don't care.      

There's three of us girls he left behind(me and my two older sisters) and if we sell it and split it we wouldn't make much profit after. 

As a builder/investor we have built 4 duplexes over the last 2.5 years and just broke ground in west Asheville on our fifth.  

I broke ground on my first deal as an equity partner two weeks ago and I just picked up another sweet deal that I'm excited about.

For fulfillment you can do it yourself to save money if you are broke, but ultimately if you want better response rates and focusing your time on value-add, then you will want to outsource fulfillment to a shop that has economies of scale and can offer you great rates.
