I’m here to connect, learn from others, and share what I can.

I've gotten deals and formed partnerships through some very unorthodox connections over the years.To answer your question, it will always depend on the specifics of the deal in front of me but in general I'd still prefer value-add.

They can offer support, share resources, and connect you with other landlords who’ve faced similar challenges.

Its hard to find deals unless you are connected, advertise a lot, cold call a lot, knock a lot, and/or work very hard at it. 

BiggerPockets is a great place to find featured agents experienced with long-term rental investments—they can guide you to cash-flowing properties and connect you with resources like contractors and property managers.

Ya lets connect, would love to check it out.

A buyer I connected with through Bigger Pockets actually.

Then connect with a variety of investors until you find the specific type of real estate that you want to do.  

Identifying value-add opportunities in strong neighborhoods and negotiating deals that make sense is something I’ve done a lot, so I understand what it takes to make these projects successful.If you’d like, we can connect and talk through some strategies or areas to focus on—I’m here to help however I can.

So it probably makes sense to send targeted letters to people who you're most interested in connecting with.Solid advice, thank you.
