Are you here locally now or only investing here from afar?

Important Tip for Wholesalers: 🌟Before diving into property contracts, it’s wise to check your local state and county regulations to see if you need a license to wholesale in your area.

We used a buyers agent and it was located thru the local MLS.

Good local lenders can pin numbers the same day based on address, purchase and renovation costs.

Feel free to reach out if you need any local OC support.

I'm looking to connect with local investors in and around the Westchester County area. 

For sourcing deals, consider leveraging a mix of strategies including networking with local real estate investors, using online platforms like Bigger-Pockets for community advice, and exploring public records or foreclosure lists for potential off-market properties.

It does depend on the state and locality you are in.  

Think like company like homes or zillow or local exp team that could offer a very efficient buying process thus could offer more attractive buyer commission, especially at expensive home price above 1 mil area, that would impact heavily on heavily-dependant commission based broker.
