I'd contend there are no "real" wholesalers in Raleigh.

Think about how can you make your property a no brainer when having to decide between an apartment and a home. 2-Contact homeowners who are not in your close proximity, so they do not feel threatened, and ask them what are they seeing in the market, and how are they are adjusting (most likely you are not the only one who is experiencing this). 3-  If you decide to work with a real estate agent, use one that works with rentals, and better yet, someone who specializes in property management as well, because they will help you weed out  bad applicants. 4- This last one I do not have experience with, but I would definitely try it if my rental was near a hospital: Partner with a company that finds housing for traveling nurses.

We are looking to expand our portfolio to include short term rentals and we are also looking to start real-estate development. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Hello BiggerPockets Community,My name is Seth, and I'm excited to join this amazing group of real estate enthusiasts and professionals.

Hello. I am trying to get my foot in the door with small multifamily. As soon as all of my ducks are in a row, I am going for 50 doors in my first year. 

I am always down to talk about real estate investing in Columbus, Ohio.

can someone point to any insurance company offering insurance for California multi family homes that are 5+ units and built in 1950sThanks 

They will come to you the longer you're in real estate :D 

Wanted to find somewhere that was much more landlord friendly, was still close to Northern CA, close to Lake Tahoe, more affordable properties, etc.
