I currently have a place I rehabbed that I have listed for sale because I'm also building a house that I need the cash for, but I have another house I just started that I may rent.

Everyone in this industry so far has really been emphasizing building relationships and networking so here I am.

I assume no buyer’s will use realtors on new builds?

This is more difficult to secure in this high rate environment but so is a cash out refinance.  

Use this experience to work out the kinks and build a strong boots on the ground team.

I'm currently exploring options for speeding up the process of securing business funding and building corporate credit.

Look for people on those pages mentioning that they are taking bids for contractors or specialists for work on their rentals, and message them to see if they are actively building their portfolios.

Leon here, thrilled to be diving headfirst into this bustling community of property enthusiasts. Coming to you from the picturesque landscapes of Grass Valley, CA, just a stone...

I've been listening to the bigger pockets podcasts and I remember David Greene saying a few times that depending on your situation, if you can hang onto an appreciating asset even if it isn't quite cash flowing that it is sometimes a good move because appreciation builds wealth long-term and eventually rental rates will go up.

First, as a new investor your goal really shouldn't be to collect cash flow, you want to be building as much equity as quickly as possible.
