Which do you think will be more competitive, buying from wholesalers or your own referrals?

I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing the resources that come with it when you buy it from Bigger Pockets?

We are looking to purchase our next investment property to buy and hold as a rental.

made an offer on a property only to find out later that one of the units was going through an eviction.tried to extend our inspection contingency to no avail to buy us some timeended up not being able to come to terms on how to proceed with sellerthe last HOUR of our inspection contingency the seller offers to try and buy out (cash for keys) the tenant the next day (he had a property manager handling the eviction and wasn't even aware of it initially).i get a (risky) oral agreement that even though the contingency window had passed, if the plan falls through my client will still get their EMD back the next day the seller ends up buying out the tenant for a bit over $3,000 and now we can move forward with the deal without the headache of a problem teanant/ picking up an eviction.

It's what institutional investors do in markets they buy.

I need to connect with a bigger scale developer start to finish on a project to see how and where 3D printing could streamline there, but I love this idea.  

When buying your first property, especially multi-family, you're bound to frequently come across occupied units and often while the tenants are home.  

I don’t know any other investors in the sense of what I’m doing in that I’m actively looking and buying and sourcing deals.

With the cash flow play you need to buy low, negotiate hard on price, expect no appreciation and get a very healthy cash flow, nothing marginal,  And expect when you sell to make little to no appreciation, then any gains are icing on the cake.

Happy to buy you coffee!
