Csh transactions are less complicated and close faster than a sale using traditional forms of financing, also in markets where houses are inexpensive a wholesale deal might be for an amount so small that you wouldn't be able to get a traditional mortgage.

Hope the wedding planning is going smoothly.I'm really not familiar with google adwords, but I do think FB ads have tons of untapped potential because people are scared of the "algorithm" and sort of just throw money at a boosted post and hope for the best. 

Which is totally crazy to ask of your tenants, I think.The only con may be that lots of online rent payment platforms have crazy high fees (one of my tenants used to pay a $22 processing fee to his old apartment), but there are plenty of options that are free or otherwise affordable.Right now I use Roof, which costs $2/transaction.

How to I find active and productive Real Estate Investors in my local area outside of REIAs?

You as a landlord have considerable leverage in the transaction.

I’m currently employed as a mergers and acquisitions intern at a management consulting firm focused on the architecture, engineering and construction industries and I support both buy and sell-side transactions, but my passion lies within the real estate industry. 

I was looking for ideas to open my own business or design a product but nothing clicked.Then one day I was listening to Listen, Money Matters podcast and they mentioned BiggerPockets and I thought I’d check it out.

Probably not with a traditional turnkey provider who offers you the final product at a premium price, as many mentioned here already.I built my property management business by basically offering our service at a fixed cost, being the boots on the ground for the out of state or out of country investor.The basic approach is, you find a good local team that will find you the distressed property, rehab it for you, rent it for you, manage it for for you.

I'm not selling anything or marketing a product. 

I feel that for purposes of transparency, both transactions should be shown on my owner's statement so that I can see that the practice is taking place.
