You will also run into wholesaler scams, lead generation scams etc.One thing I would ask for going forward before working with any private lenders or anyone else in real estate is ask for referrals.

(Imagine a basic $300k property only going up 4%, that’s $12k, very few rentals generate $1,000/mo income.

Think of how much waste has been generated by throwing things out, simply because they are out of style. 

Best to scale your dollars and get the most bricks that will generate the best returns in one shot. 

I set up some marketing and lead generation, and I fell on a lead for a million-dollar property. 

Companies that generate less than $5 Million in process receipts this year and no more than 5 years of gross receipts.

Believe me, loan officers are very hungry to establish a relationship and I could probably hook you up with someone that would be responsive and educational.There are 2 routes you could go: 1) An established loan officer that knows everything and is more likely to be creative to get deals to go through, but would have less time for random questions 2) A hungry and newer loan officer that would give you all the time in the world, but may not have experience with tweaking details to make things work. 

FacebookIn my experience IG, Twitter and LinkedIn have generated very little meaningful engagement with my audience.

Has anyone used Investor Carrot to build a lead generation website?

We've found Meetup to be a good generator of interest so if you have bit of money to get on with that, it might be worth your while.
