The take aways were make the space look inviting, take great pictures, tell an intriguing story about the property to make it unique and make it as easy as possible for your guests to enjoy the stay in your area. 

Thank you Ola for your wise words, I am trying to come up with a quick, to the point, succinct text message I could send him to get the message across and not invite any further conversation. 

People have a hard time resisting this kind of invitation from someone who appears legitimate.You can of course use sites like Crexi or Loopnet or broker websites to find out who the brokers in town are, but you will have much better luck seeing good deals from them if you meet them in person, as I described.Another fantastic way is to get a personal introduction.  

@Adriel Cisneros If the people that you're referring to are all friends that you have preexisting, substantive relationships with, then you can invite them to invest with you in a 506(b) offering. 

I would urge you not to share your personal bank information with a tenant like an account and routing number as mentioned above, some online payment systems out there let you sign up and submit all your bank info, and then invite tenants to pay.

in yoiur situation I would just get the lead from the wholesaler and you do your own due diligence.. if they want to provide due diligence thats find but it can't be trusted its your dollars not theirs. approach just like your buying any other asset.. you do the ground work and satisfy yourself on condition and values etc.... do not rely on the seller ( wholesaler).. as human nature creates an atmosphere of puffing to down right mis representation  LOL...

So, I invite you to look at every aspect of real estate and learn everything that you can and become a sponge.

Don't want to discourage you, so consider this as an invitation to start over and make a better impression.

@Erica Villarreal Thank you for the invite, unfortunately I will be on shift tomorrow.

I do some book review blogs here on BP, once I get the 'Crush it' book, I invite you to comment on it with your take on my review.
