I want to have more saved for just in case expenses for life/a potential rental property but also want real time experience and I think this would be a great way to do it.Your absolutely right that real "pounding the pavement" experience is the best way to gain knowledge and I think it is a reasonable request which someone can say yes or no..however I dont think contacting random people who are investors on LinkedIn or online is the correct way to do it.

@Dan Oxman you are not the only person to initially think cash could be invested and give rise to tax benefits, it is a common misconception.I have confirmed this with OZ leaders in our firm as well as a few OZ syndicators and the OZ lead at a large Big 4 firm.

For example, lead paint, asbestos, lead pipes, etc.

I’m not saying it’s a no -go ,but I am saying practice your due diligence and get some professionals involved before you get too jumpy  if those numbers are correct that's about as good as it gets spread wise in the Portland market.. 230k ARV is one of the very cheapest areas of the city if its a free standing SFR detached.. and you say its on septic that leads me to believe its not in the city.. and seller warranting that stuff is worthless.. just try to collect after the fact when he is long gone with your money.. get a good contractor in there to assess the condition and what it will take to rehab.. 30 to 40k in our market is basically cosmetic only.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

HiJust wondering if anyone knows of a mobile app that helps track door knocking according to a lead list.  

I worked as a lead admin for a team of commercial real estate agents.

@Nadine Delille So here are the options for low cash investors (just a few)Wholesaling off the MLS: need to double close more than likelyWholesaling: find your own deals via marketingBird dogging:  Might get money for any lead you find with your own marketing and turning it over to someone thats more experienced.Lease Options (alot of stuff here but lets simplify it:  you become a middle men for hooking up a landlord and tenant)Flipping houses: if you have PML and HML who are willing to pay for everything but for a newbie will be extremely expensive on your end profit (plus if you need to pay points for the loan)yeah many agents are investor friendly meaning that they will go with you and see houses write up offers etc but when it comes to wholesaling off the MLS what you need to do is the double close.

I love Cardone U its really a killer online platform and its worth every penny if you ask me.

@Francis Mendo I work at KW and we use NTN Online.
