I've made many great connections, educated myself on topics I didn't know existed before and have taken actionable steps in my personal investing business that I wouldn't have done otherwise. 

I personally don't know much about it but I'm seeing a lot more of this happening in SD and have met with some owners who have been successfully doing this in Serra Mesa and other areas of SD. 

Some you will like and some are very 'pitchy' selling all kinds of classes and junk.Meeting people in person and getting to know them and what they do will help increase your knowledge that much more.

Personally, I'm not a fan, but I could see why some people like it. 

You aren't the first person to suggest it, however.

@KiKi Wood Is your person for STR set-up in Indianapolis!

My favorite part is having a dedicated contact person that walks you through the entire platform and helps you get set up.

He is not in a position to begin lending money for several reasons.I assume the HELOC was made against his personal residence.

Will the person get paid for that?

Also when wholesaling you should be turning to a buyer you have a pre existing relationship with.
