Due to COVID-19, it’s unclear how we can practice social distancing & eliminate any health concerns at a large conference, thus we made the difficult decision to postpone to 2021.

Social Media and door knocking.

I would say if your model is to target a certain areas with less competition, better cash flow and low appreciation then make your plan to attack that area and do it well.Always be prepared in the hot areas because when a deal from there falls in your lap you need to be prepared financially to act.My 2cents

But if they think that the builder has big enough pockets residential is an easy target. 

@JD Martin Call it a social experiment.

I would suggest expanding your social media prowess to start hearing what local groups (i.e. on Facebook) are saying about certain companies, areas, etc.

Keep in mind, some of the best deals are off-market - get yourself connected to local groups on social media that will allow you to find these opportunities quicker so you're not in such a rush to buy that you make a mistake on your vetting process.There is always risk associated with fix-and-flips - but having the confidence going into a buy makes all the difference.

The house was purchased for $50k and with a target ARV of $130k based on recent sales in the past 6 months.

You need to figure out a plan on how you plan to attack one or more of those target areas.

I see that you've targeted this property, but I just can't wrap my head around why you'd assume someone else's loan *above market rate* with the intention to negotiate it down.
