Once you gain traction and get some deals the good news is you can hire a VA to at least to the initial calls for you (less no's) and you only talk to the ones interested in your offer (I know it because I run a call center for Real Estate).Mailers can also work, in that case interested sellers reach out to you, mailers can be expensive though so its also a numbers game.

@David Lund If you're aiming for a live-in flip to future rental you need to run the numbers BEFORE making offers.

You just need to make sure that the list price of your property is well below 70% of ARV to ensure wholesalers or fellow investor end buyers will be putting forth an offer.

Mind-blowingly cheap...And @Oscar Calle yeah, tier one skip tracing is offered by only very few, which often is a shortened title search.

I'm currently a buy and hold investor (utilizing various househacks), but I'm hoping to get into the STR space end of this year/early next year.In terms of your financing options, here are some things that come to mind (albeit may or may not apply to your situation):- Utilize second-home loan option (10% downpayment) if the property qualifies- Utilize a small local bank to see what loan options they may offer (perhaps some may have experience lending on STR?

Fathom does have a mentor program for beginners coming to Fathom, is based on servant leadership, offers 100% commission less a transaction and an annual fee and more.

My question is: If I have the wholesaler that has the contract assign it to me when I have an offer for a property from one of my buyers, Can the wholesaler A find out who the buyer is when it goes to close?

If this family felt so comfortable in the house, I would expect they'd make an offer. 

I remember them and you from XC practices- My stepdaughter Brianna (2022) stepson Aidan (2023).

My primary focus lies in commercial and multi-family properties, as they offer great potential for investment.
