I'd like to know your plans for long-distance flips, that you could do from anywhere.

What kind of investments were you planning on focusing on?

It highlights that you are a new investor and local to the property.If you are a wholesaler, explain the process and show them what funds you will use to buy or hold the property. 99% won't do this.

It's a great place to network and meet agents, lenders, wholesalers, attorneys, etc.Not yet, but definitely plan too.

I am going in with my eyes open and we shall see - I am a cynic like you, but plan for the worst is my way of viewing the investments

I’ve just filled 5 vacant units in a newly renovated building and it was a process.

I will plan to reach out to in the future to better connect.

I have a condo in Los Angeles that I plan to do a 1031 Exchange within the next year.

That process created more unnecessary work and several issues for not only the members of the LLC but also for the states’ regulatory agencies.

If you're planning to invest less than $400-500k USD, the properties you could find within that budget will not stand out in the market, and you'll face high competition in the STR (Short-Term Rental) market.
