It usually works out if you have a great property because people will say "wow this is an amazing property for a killer deal" and youll end up with a glowing first few reviews if it pans out. then you are off to the races

I drop them and use a competent local RE agent, who did a great job.   

I'm struggling because the first 3 homes I bought were homerun off market deals 3-4 years ago w/ great cash flow and appreciation. 

I had been discussing this property with the owner for a while and saw its potential—distressed but with strong fundamentals and built-in equity.The deal was a great opportunity to apply creative financing, secure a property with minimal upfront capital, and build long-term cash flow.

There is a great group of members on here to connect with.

We have a team of experienced agents ready to find you your next great property!

I’d greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you could share on this topic.Thank you again for your help! 

Sold for record price and a great profit!

Plenty of other great groups depending on your focus.

Conventional financing is a great option to get started if you have a W2 job or easily verifiable income and you're financing a 1-4 unit property.
