As a GC I don’t target investors.

I’m going to take option 1 and leave them to secure my target rent rate and provide a value over other rentals in the area.Thanks again everyone.

The areas I am targeting include : East Los Angeles (Near Whittier Blvd.) and around Pomona (preferably northern).

You have no idea if the Seller is actually motivated or not; the Seller doesn’t feel you targeted them because you think they are distressed, rather just that you like their property.

there really are no magic tips. the only thing you can do is (yes the love letter) and try to clean up the terms - short inspection and loan contingencies. have strong relationship with their lender and see if the lender would be willing, if necessary to talk with the listing agent to address any concerns the listing agent has regarding financing.i have a new listing that needed some sprucing - i went to target and bought some things (which I will return) to tart up the bathrooms, kitchen and living room - plants, kitchen stuff, towels, pillows for the couch, etc...

With a target of $125k all-in, it seemed this would be a great opportunity to BRRRR.

I've found 2 off-market deals in Westchester over the last 4 years by being socialable.

Most people have either income from work or retirement income (social security, pension, etc).

The one area that does target 1031 Exchange clients is the Delaware Statutory Trust or DST. 

I'm a light user of these social media platform but somehow today felt extra productive.
