The strategy was described as to go on to craigslist and to find the rental apartment listings and message the people and tell them that you are an investor and if they ever need to sell im your guy.I'm guessing you can find and use whatever platform that contains rental listings and contact the property owners. 

I had a tendency to want to turn this into a "passion project".2) Being on top of your calendar at all times - especially if you are listing across multiple platforms.

I am sure you will find the knowledge and resources you need here on the biggerpockets platform.

It's important to hit the sellers on multiple platforms in order to maximize your chances of getting in touch with your entire marketing list. 

There are thousands of "this way" or "that way" decisions to make while setting up an origination platform so it's up to the person doing the deciding and everyone else in the company must do it that way regardless of what's allowed by law or other lenders.My suggestion is to have the borrower call around. 

Plus it is one of the platforms used by many potential tenants.GoSection8 is the marketplace for section 8.

Since then, we have ALL 5 star reviews on both Airbnb and Vrbo platforms.

@Harel Shalom, if those individuals are non US residents and they are on this platform, I would reach directly out to them, to learn the exact process they went through

You can also share a sample deal with them, to walk them through the process, answer any questions, and see how much they might want to invest with you when you do have a deal.In addition, start to build up your own brand and thought leadership platform through creating content that teaches people about the types of opportunities you're looking to put together.

I agree with @John Underwood, you have to get as much information as you can on the expenses, do as much research as you can on similar properties in the market's performance (on any and all rental platforms), and then run your numbers.
