ATTENTION:  CALGARY AREA REAL ESTATE INVESTORSSome members were discussing a possible meet up in Calgary between October 21st and 28th -- the days I happen to be back up in Calgary from (sunny) California

Forget what these investors say though, Chris hit the nail on the head on the surveyed pool.

I would never bother with thinking you can tie up dirt and flip contracts like house wholesalers the end buyer pool is just way to small unless like i said you are selling for substantially under anything else for the same parcel.

Occasionally, I'm asked about two or more people pooling their resources to buy properties.

I would network with local investors to gauge their utility bills, pool maintenance, landscaping, cleaning costs...

We only have 2 hot tubs that are not part of a larger pool. 

A lot of my clients will do their first 2-3 flips as ones they sell off to have a healthy grasp on projects and a large pool of cash to work with.

Here are some key recommendations to consider:1.Focus on Emerging Neighborhoods:Look for emerging neighborhoods in Orange County where property prices are still reasonable but expected to appreciate.2.Niche Markets:Consider niche markets like student housing or senior living, which can offer stable rental income.3.BRRRR Strategy:Use the BRRRR method (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) to increase your property’s value and refinance to reinvest.4.Partnerships:Form partnerships with other investors to pool resources and share risks.

Next time you talk to the renter that's paying late all the time, Maybe mentioned to him or her without getting too involved in their personal life, they should seek out a temporary job a few hours, a couple of days a week until they build up enough to get caught up on the rent, and make a little pool of money to use so they don't get behind again.Some Temporary jobs can be fun, like handing out rubber id bracelets at functions to the participants, or if the person is more blue collar they have jobs for those people too more suited to their tastes. just my 2 cents.

That pool of investors tends to be smaller.
