A couple of ways to find these guys: * RE Agents - If they are a seasoned agent they usually know a few players in the area * Mortgage Brokers - Same * Hard money lenders - Same * Local REIA * BP - look at member's profile pagesI hope that helps!

I would say on premium triple net properties it is doubtful.Too many other players ready to put skin in the game.They don't have to deal with tenants,toilets,and termites and get a 6 to 8 percent annual return.You might be able to structure something with a non-corporate tenant but that carries a bunch of more risk.You can get into these properties with less skin as lenders that do credit tenant loans will go 90% LTV.So you could in theory structure these no money down but again there are big companies gobbling up triple net with hoards of cash.If you are assuming a loan the lenders feel much more comfortable with a big corp with tons of backing,cash,and a track record for performing.The other benefit is that with the big company as the buyer the lender will let the personal guarantee go on the loan assumption.If you are just Joe Blow wanting to assume it they might let you with a personal guarantee still attached to the seller.This has just been my experience and there are always exceptions to the rule.

@Joe Gore   your asset manager buddy probably has assets that the bigger players are not interested in. 

The active players are finding and funding deals themselves.

The investor would prefer a contractor who understands the local market, has the ability to purchase materials in bulk at optimal price and execute the project in the shortest possible time.2) Many of the best players will not show up on top of Google search resultsWhy?

I think you will find the most experienced TK players will not operate in hoods like this for many practical reasons. 

They gave me a lot of good information, such as who the major players are in the area, what a 2,3 and 4 bedroom SFH would typically rent to students for per month and also how much the student population is projected to grow over the next 5-10 years.

She is a wonderful agent in Memphis that works with investors and Evernest is a major player in property management in Memphis! 

These people either don't know the local market, local players, or quit the game for a reason. 

My wife does online work (she is Japanese too).
