Sometimes they'll have gurus come thru that charge more for a full day class or more extensive training.I've posted before some lists of area meetups...each has a little different twist and following. 

Where can I find a list of hard money lenders

The real estate landscape is always evolving, presenting new opportunities to discover.

And, FMV on 1/6/25 is not FMV today because now you don't have a lot in an established neighborhood, you have a lot in a disaster area which comes with the challenges I listed above.We built about three dozen "fire lot" homes after our fire--all lots acquired off MLS or from owners that came to us (we didn't market for lots), and not at a price that anyone would call a "discount". 

I want to be able to find potential markets/listings nationally based on the return.

The strategies you listed are drastically different from each other.

My second house was under contract before it was even listed, but the combination of my GC disappearing and having to restart the permitting process for the carport in March right at the start of Corona lock downs dragged that out and eventually feel out of contract.

In addition to Turbo Tenant, I would suggest that you have a local Realtor list it for rent. 

But then, do all three homes go into ONE trust, listing the two parents and the three daughters, or do they create three trusts? 

Let's connect so I can get you on my exclusive investors list.
