I’ve built relationships with top-notch realtors all over, and once you’re not tangled up in confusing insurance structures, it’s a whole lot easier to jump on the next right opportunity.

So... if I were to advise a friend, I'd tell them, sure, if you really wanna buy, this platform is fine, just like Roofstock is fine, if you really don't have a team built out and trust built in to find better deals & opportunities.

For ID verification, I typically rely on Airbnb’s built-in process, as it’s seamless and keeps everything within their platform.

Someone paying 1,000 likely wants 100 hours of time as they will struggle with lots of stuff and blame someone other than themselves when they don't follow all the steps because they are lazy or don't want to put in the steps to lay the foundation.The foundation isn't sexy.

Here are some other strategies:Investor Networks: Share through local REI groups or investor meetups in Colorado and Ohio.Direct Outreach: Use mailing lists or email campaigns targeting known investors or real estate firms.Social Media: Post in real estate forums or Facebook groups for investors.Websites for Property ListingsRoofstock: Specializes in selling single-family rental properties to investors, offering built-in tools for analysis.BiggerPockets Marketplace: A hub for active real estate investors, perfect for promoting rental properties.Auction.com: If you’re open to auctioning properties, this platform reaches a broad investor audience.RealtyMogul: Offers connections to individual and institutional investors, especially for multifamily properties.MyHouseDeals: Focused on connecting with investors looking for fix-and-flip or rental properties.Zillow Rental Manager: While more general, it can still attract landlords looking to expand portfolios.Mashvisor: A great platform to market properties with detailed cash flow and rental projections.PropertyShark: Targets real estate professionals and investors with access to detailed property data.These can help you reach a broader audience and possibly sell faster.

It sounds like you’ve already built a strong foundation in real estate as a high-volume realtor, and your enthusiasm for your first fix-and-flip is inspiring.

Per trading desk they said "yeah, crazy right, a lot of people are gonna get caught sleeping on this one", as in when market has that cycle it will get "interesting" when the forced sells occur accelerating the drop, that those in the know have algorithms built and set to grab the bottom.

Yes, I'm gonna bang the REI gong LOUD-N-PROUD because your on BP, this is our house bro, the house REI built. 

Strategic Purchase: Acquired a discounted double lot below market value with a $17k impact fee credit.Custom Design: Built a 6-bed, 5-bath home tailored for co-living or multi-gen use, maximizing tenant appeal.Efficient Management: Managed construction, and self-managed operations to minimize costs.Premium Marketing: Furnished the property and used multiple platforms to attract quality tenants quickly, achieving full occupancy.What was the outcome?

Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’
