There are a few types of people who will buy your end of line flips….1) Those that will only buy truly safe … battle born… “equity the day I buy”.. opportunities And/or2) those that were trained to see real estate investing as a much more risky “ investment”… in other words  “ a buy that “SHOULD” have value after appreciation”With Buyer group #1… if you provide truly investor grade deals that haven’t been stripped of most of the equity before you try to flip, you will build a following of investor grade buyers that WILL pay cash and CAN close “ as soon as the title search is done”… This will net smaller nets for you initially , but you will own a REAL Buyers list… that WILL have the experience… to REALLY CLOSE ASAP.And that will make your machine run MUCH more smoothly.Or2) you can initially max out your net on a few deals as you scape out most of the equity for yourself… but you will only be working with non experienced buyers.. who will buy ….one… realize that they are in WAY too deep… have no B plan.. and they will be FAR less likely to buy again… AND they may never even make it to your first closing .So.. your choice… cultivate a crop of GREAT slam dunk , low work load real buyer investors…. where all you need to do is find the property , mark it up a LITTLE ..and we do all of the rest of the work…Or sew a crop of weeds…I do spend a little bit of my time asking wholesalers to take me off of their lists.I would love to buy from you.I don’t want to spend my time doing the initial marketing.I am willing to pay for your valueBut I don’t buy properties that don’t have TWO exit strategies1) enough equity AT CLOSING so that, at the very least I could sell it TODAY without taking a loss…..AND2) after my expertise …. 

Hi @Sia Rawat     I've had the opportunity to speak to brokerages about the processing of cultivating investor clients and to stop prospecting, so this is a topic I know well.

We worked to cultivate cash flowing houses as the base of our investment pyramid, followed by fewer, nicer houses in an appreciation area (fancier houses in a beach side location), which we use for STRs.  

To be an investor you have to cultivate a spirit of resiliency.

I know there's some thought out there that you should cultivate direct relationships with insurance companies or construction companies, but  that's tying yourself to one industry when the platforms like Airbnb or Zillow are where a much wider pool of potential tenants are looking.Long-winded rant aside, I bet Atlanta has a great market for MTRs (and probably STRs if the laws allow them).

I found much greater success cultivating relationships with my local brokers/agents and consistently reviewing material online. 

It is critical to cultivate relationships and achieve constant success.It took several years for my friends and family to believe in me.

By focusing on branding and marketing, optimizing revenue management, cultivating a winning mindset, and staying attuned to design trends, we left the conference armed with the knowledge and confidence to thrive in the competitive world of short term rentals.Plus, I got to make some new friends out there!
