The prospective tenants says her current lease expires in a month from now.

Congrats on the success you've had so far, and I hope you can share with us as you develop your systems.

I didnt find the correct place in this forum to post prospective deals (links...) so that experienced biggerpocket(ers) can give their opinion, is there such a category ?

How to transition from inquiring about a property as a fixer, to transitioning it into a referral lead is also something that I will need to develop as experience grows.

A friend approached me to help him with a property he inherited from his mom passing where a developer wanted to buy from him for commercial development.The developer after me catching everything in the contract to tie up the property with the seller asked me to work with him on the other parcels as he would rather be working with me than against me assembling the properties.Off I went after that for about 3 years in land development and then went into existing investment properties.I did things kamikaze style and figured them out on my own through the school of hard knocks.In your situation if you are focusing on apartments I would do the following.

I have sources at way better terms than that but as J said is personal relationships developed over time.

I still own a real estate company overseas, I used to own a bank, construction company, developments, over 50 properties,(which I've shown him paperwork on) all owned free and clear.

I have several times bought negative cashflow situations because of the property was something i could change into positive cashflow quickly through development or change.

Developers can't get the apartments/dorms up fast enough.

Most of them were just letting me know there was no property to speak of, it was only an empty lot.You can market empty lots to builders and developers.
