Going to the events page above and seeing who is hosting meetups along with connecting with people at these meetups is a great way to grow your network of people within a small 25-50 mile radius.

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

Competition with owner-occupants and the age of the homes (70-120+) will squeeze your margins and expose you to a fair amount of risk.

In the end, it may be the same amount of money or more, but it will just have to be structured differently as you navigate the shifting market.Northwest Valley would be a good option. 

Others have hit it on the head.

It’s all about catching their eye and making them click.

I know many people who own real estate that are not citizens of the US.

I'm a dry sponge trying to soak up all the knowledge.
