I appreciate you for taking the time out your day for your professional feedback.

It's my understanding that if your property is pre-1978 and you're disturbing x sq ft of area (think it's 6 for interior or 20 for exterior), then you must be lead certified or use lead certified contractors if you're reselling or renting, may be exempt for owner-occupied, unless your state offers another option, like a lead-free certificate after professional testing. 

I agree with @Matt Shields that most real estate professionals value a referral or online review like gold. 

And I'd target deals that the seller will finance, OR, get private money (not hard-money) and give them say, 6--8% interest only for x (maybe 5) years. 

It is a great way to learn about what a professional wholesaler looks like and how they grew their businesses.

Looking for a part-time freelance marketing professional who specializes in Search Engine Marketing, Paid Advertising to manage a digital marketing and advertising campaign for residential lots in NC.

Word of mouth is probably the best way to meet any professional in any field.

I recently connected with a local investor who has 20+ years in construction and uses private money to buy properties.

I am planning to use a private lender to fund the project in cash.
