Portland is a pretty competitive market for investors, so you will likely want to find off-market leads.

The response rate is extremely low and it requires a lot of follow up in order to generate leads.

Was getting a little concerned I posted in the wrong category lol.

Thanks @Caleb Heimsoth, I figured from the start I had to honor their lease I was more concerned about not having a move in checklist, and the fact that I plan to raise the rent $150 and kick them out of the garage scares me that they could wreck the place because there’s is nice move in checklist.

For now, I'm focusing on wholesale to help save up money to fund my first flip.From the research I have done I've pretty much come to the conclusion that I need to start my business or form a LLC (of course for a name, website, flyers, etc.) and to start putting in crazy amounts of leg work like driving for dollars and getting some leads together and started up in order to put together a profile to find potential cash buyers..Is there any advice you could give me that would help out with the beginning stages of starting up my wholesale business?

I personally don't think the majority of investors are too concerned with their purchase/sale price being "convenient" for a mortgage broker they just want the deal locked in at the best possible numbers that work for them.

Feedback, comments, concerns?

You could have ordered the appraisal earlier in the process....most people don’t want to spend the $500 until they know they are approved, but it usually leads to “we are just waiting on the appraisal”.

Hello BP fam,

Looking to buy my 3rd rental, first time as a cash deal, and I'm starting to get leads from wholesalers.
