Live in the area and owned a profitable unit nearby How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

Did you find a lender that would work with you?

If you can't find anyone on here or at meetups, connect with some investor friendly agents in the area or larger area.

(currently have 8 contracts)Where can I find professional investors that I can work with?

If anyone could help me get a mortgage or point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.Hello Rico,You could try to find homes where the seller is willing to offer seller financing or rent to own terms so you do not require a bank loan.We do a lot of creative financing deals in several different markets.Feel free to reach out with questions. 

As for the land, with some looking around and a possible off market deal, with time I’m confident I could find an R2 lot for relatively cheap compared to the build.
