He never used our renovation money for renovation.He also stole my mothers security deposit from her rental and so many more shady things I could go on all day.I have a list of property managers, contractors, former clients, etc that he has screwed over and have completely blacklisted him.

It's just a chance for local members to get to meet one another in person, and spark a positive business relationship. 

If you only have 15k, I recommend saving more money before expanding to a 4 unit.

I only have money to go to only one of these two conferences.

I am looking to fix and flip and understand I will need one for hard money.  

Private money for the renovation of ADU How did you add value to the deal?

Myself personally, I was taught how to appraise by an MAI Appraiser, so fortunately for myself I believe I was "correctly" trained and use "correct" actions for formulate my cma's/BPO's. 

Sometimes you can talk directly to the owners.Use the Internet - Websites can show you houses that are being sold because the owners couldn't pay their bills or are in other kinds of trouble.Check Public Records - Look at official papers to see if a property owner is behind on taxes or other bills, which could mean they need to sell fast.Study the Market - Learn about how much houses in that area usually sell for and how much you could sell it for after you fix it up.Be Careful - Make sure you investigate the property fully to see if there are any legal problems or money owed on it.By using these steps together, you can find properties that might be a good investment because they need work or are being sold at a lower price than usual.Kind regards,

Some are growing and potential money makers.

I personally have 8+ units there in Cleveland and my team primarily helped me to make the managing of these properties easier.
