I'd be able to fly out and look at properties, but not all that often.

Piercing is rare but people often find other ways around it. 

That's why they post often, write articles, and create a great podcastSeeing someone want to move fast is always exciting.

I’ve never liked the idea of wholesalers playing in this arena anyway.....they often will tie up an owner who is on a clock, then they can’t flip it, and it’s like “oh well, it didn’t work out” when the owner Could have sold to real buyer and now likely doesn’t have time to do do.

Hi Everyone, I'm very new to all of this and need a little bit of advice.I am currently working with a real estate agent that I know personally, I will be her first multi family purchase shes new to real estate but has a mentor at her company that has been doing it for decades and provides a lot of assistance though she isn't available very often so we are sometimes on our own and learning as we go.I have been renting the same place for the past 10 years and the owner is selling so now I have to find another place to live, instead of renting for over 1k/month I decided to purchase a multi family, at first I was looking for duplexes but then came across a 3 unit the asking price is 180k, it is two 3 bedrooms and one 2 bedroom, it has a 2 car attached garage, washer & dryer hookups in each unit, newer heating systems tenants pay all their own utilities except sewer and water which is roughly 2k per year the house also has 3 seperate large storage areas above the garage, and it also has a decent sized back yard. 2 tenants have been there for over a decade in the 3 bedroom units and 1 tenant has been in the 2 bedroom for about 6 months.

These days there will often be a map, where you can either click on the property of interest, or enter the address, and get a basic report - whose name is on the property tax records, how much the property tax is, the square footage, year built, etc. 

With the really strong demand the best properties are getting purchased very quickly and often for above the asking price.

Do activities that generate the highest value possible, most often finding deals or selling yourself/your product.

They also often lie to sellers about their real intent (FRAUD).

Local sources and aggregators are often they easiest and best.
