I would hate to finally feel like I'm getting a good system in place only to be blocked by a lack of funding 😭So I guess my question comes down to: What path would you recommend I go down, and what steps should I be taking now, to ensure I can scale my rental real estate acquisitions?

Seriously, you can't meet somebody and not have them say "I'm a wholesaler with New Western Acquisitions" and you get the elevator pitch for the exact same 5 properties that you heard from the last 6 wholesalers you just met.

That's why I put in the title "be creative" As in I know they will get their commission but maybe there's something I can do on my end like throw in an "acquisition fee" or something for me to gain the benefit as well.
