Hi @Joe Krug, crowdsourcing platforms exist because there is no efficient market mechanism which matched capital with deals.

The contract stipulates 15 days for inspection and due diligence if you leave it blank, however shortening the period under 10 days strengthens your position if you have the team of inspectors in place with your Realtor to knock it out efficiently.

How do I scale more efficiently?

Sometimes HELOC appraisals aren't to the detail that some loans require.Keep in mind the point of the appraisal in this case isn't to put a market value on your house as much as to ensure the bank's protected if you default.

Meantime ensure that you do not look like a risk on paper. 

Ideally, we'd be zeroed in on one or two neighborhoods, but with the travel, we've decided to remain flexible and keep an eye on one or two in each town.The ultimate goal is, of course, to quit the day job in 2 years and do this full time, allowing us to focus on one town in order to make things more efficient. 

Typically speaking, a triplex or 4plex will show a better return in this area and you will carry less risk through ownership of a 3-4plex because you can better coordinate lease structure to ensure timing works in your favor.

Ensuring you can build a board on the property is a tedious job that I suggest you don't neglect. 

I explained what my resolution was in order to ensure all of the sellers concessions are used.

Are there any more efficient ways to find these people?
