Good morning John, Thank you for Having me and welcoming me.I have been studying those strategies and i love to work in Buy and hold, and short term rentalsRight now i am starting out and dont have the cash to fund my own investment so am currently looking for partnership, taking a role in property management or sweat Equity until i have a foot on the groundI Would love to here your thoughts and advices you have for meThank you for replying, means alot 

My experience was ok - one of the tenants was dealing drugs from the apartment.

Should be on BP as well under their list of recommended lenders. 

Even if the deal is off market I dont ever mind sending comps to my clients, it takes like 5 mins. 

I met with an agent who has his own team and he told me all of the benefits of being on a team vs not being on a team.

Finally, focus on high-demand neighborhoods and have a backup plan, like renting if the flip doesn't sell immediately.Let me know if you need financing guidance or further tips.Best,Drago

And so on.

lean on these forums whenever you have questions. good luck with your investments.

I'm currently looking for distress properties to skip trace the owners with hope of getting my first wholesale deal. 

A better approach might be to find a REI Association in the area(s) and ask other investors for their recommendations - it's not uncommon to choose a different appraiser depending on the type of property (residential vs commercial MFH vs. office or industrial) and the objective of the appraisal.
