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.

You need a GC you trust and a GC that cares and a GC that wants to build a business relationship with you and not be a one off. 

Also, I recommend you have a banking relationship with Wells and Chase prior to shopping if that's the route you're definitely going to take. 

This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

You could try reaching out to ask questions and maybe that would turn into a sort of mentorship type relationship if adding a partner is not on the table. 

From there you can cultivate the relationship by email / calling them to stay top of mind for future leads. 

Building relationships with wholesalers and staying active in local REI groups has also helped investors I know find opportunities that still pencil out.On the refi side, DSCR loans have been a solid option, especially for staying cash flow positive.

It takes hustle, but once you’ve got the right mix of funding, project management, and lender relationships, it’s totally doable!

If I ever brought any of them a deal by.a rookie investor in a market they do not know, with work performed by a GC that has 0 relationship with the investor, they would laugh at me.PML is not just Potsy from Happy Days. 

Do you have 2-4 contractors that you've built relationships with who build similar homes to what you're looking to do?
