I guarantee that he/she will know several people in the group who invest in the same space of your interest, and you can then introduce yourself to them.As for adding value, this may depend on your experience level, but a good start is to ask people for their business card. 

Make sure the schedule is accurate, when you’re ready to bid, just like the shows you watch, raise your card to signal your bid at the price announced.

Maybe give a gift card to your tenants too, and ask them to keep the property in a "presentable" condition.

I used that card many times to get my borrowers to settle up.. easier dealing with me than the IRS>. ones that were stubborn I sent them out and the next thing you know they are calling me  and freaked out.

Hello  Members,Basically what I am trying to figure out is how to use cash maybe a HELOC to pay down or use to buy a Short term rental Property (VRBO/AirBnB).Situation:Current Primary Residence Value 300KMortgage Balance= $82,500.00 / 2.87% Fixed rateCash= $160KTruck Balance=$8500Credit Cards Balances= $2kI am trying to buy a property that me and the family can use for vacation purposes and to short term rental it while not in use.

The girl on the podcast today said she used 0 interest credit cards to fund some of her rehabs, so maybe i could do that. idk the more i talk about it the more i feel like I'm ready!

This account is also a checking account with check book and debit card to access the equity as needed. 

So we are planning on moving to the US in about a year or so, basically when my husband will receive his green card.

I bought my first buy and hold property with 8k saved up, I got a 10k unsecured loan from a credit union, and bought the materials interest free for 18 months with a Home Depot credit card that I secured after the purchase.

Finish the rehab however you can (credit cards if you have to) and then refinance everything.
