Quote from @La Toya Flowers Butler: I'm a newbie to real estate investing, looking to learn, cultivate business relationships, and invest!  

Worked with previous partnerships that have been cultivated over the years.

Cultivate strong relationships with brokers to gain access to off-market deals and increase your deal flow.

These are entirely relationship-based and do take time and energy to cultivate but are very lucrative once you cultivate them.

All the cultivated harvest is only 1% of the demand.  

Moreover, wholesalers have cultivated lists of retail cash buyers who don't need the type of value-add opportunity you would to BRRR.Bottom line is that you can BRRR anywhere just like you can make money in real estate in any market. 

From there you can cultivate the relationship by email / calling them to stay top of mind for future leads. 

I have been cultivating a relationship with an agent for over 25 years now.

I think the key word is community, and I've tried my best to cultivate a great culture and group of people.

Permitting is painfully slow, even with long cultivated relationships with the county.
