Instead of focusing on # of properties, I prefer to focus on meeting my desired target passive income I wish to generate from the properties.

I could be your friend for a couple days.I like their web site.

I am in Westminster and I have looked at a few Boulder county cities as pretty good targets for wholesaling.

There are also plenty of rentals in my target area where the same tenant has been there for years, which is even better.

One idea: You could post an ad on craigslist to try and get birddogs to drive your targeted areas and look for homes that need repairs on the outside.

In addition to the screening required, there may be quite a bit of targeted marketing to be done to find the correct fit between renter and property.

Problem is that a license makes you a target for law suits.

I'm not buying it for its appreciation, but knowing the true value would be a helpful piece to the puzzle.Hi Derek,The way that we do it is with a quick search on Zillow of the most recent sales surrounding the target property.

“We are specifically targeting the informed accredited investor who wants to invest in large real estate deals, but cannot afford to take down the entire deal.” said Kevin Swill CEO of The Carlton Group.But can the crowdfunding model, that has been so successfully utilized by companies like FundAnything (http://fundanything.com/en) and others, can it really work in real estate financing?

He sounds like he's trying to help, and it's valuable to have MLS feeds and work with someone you can trust.I've worked with local agents who aren't investors, but they know my target neighborhoods extremely well.
