the bottleneck for many investors (myself included) is what @Jo-Ann Lapin referenced GOOD CONTRACTORS! One is typically tough to find but if you are trying to scale your business youll need a few and THAT is what is very very hard

I would say I AM HAPPY TO HELP!! But let it be known the best way for you to analyze there property is to be able to check it out yourself.  By doing this you just set a meeting for you and the owner for them to see:

1. you know what youre doing when analyzing properties

2. build a relationship with this person by "doing them a favor"

3. gets face to face with the seller so when they ARE ready to sell, who do you think they reach out to?

Sergey sorry I couldn't make it this month! I look forward to the next one

nice! I should be listing my duplex I am currently flipping here in Sacramento if anybody is interested , purchase price will be 265k. DM me for more info!

Go SacTown!

I like the idea of rent control and these numbers seem to be decent but putting this into practice hasn't proven to be successful in any instances I have seen (if there is some data out there please send it to me)

@Michael Ealy love this topic man you're killing it. I would add market yourself through social media and share not just your wins but the struggles you have as well people can respect that and it creates the perception you're not afraid to lay it all out there! You never know who has cash and who wants to work until you give them a reason to WANT to work WITH YOU!

@Adrian Vega take the emotions out of it brotha and just look surface level, I'd create a means for them to pay you themselves through bank venmo whatever but remember theyre your tenants not your friends

LOVE IT BRO!!!!!!! CONTINUE TO GRIND!!!!!

Congrats on betting on yourself man that takes some serious stones. Realize this, in RE you don't have a boss so only person to hold you accountable will be you, habits are a KEY ingredient to setting yourself up. The work you do today will not rear its head for at least 90 days. I assume you will not be working a 9-5 as you take this plunge so its time to hunker down , run your personal budget, and really just GRIND you're going to have ups and downs its the nature of the game but the rewards will be greater than you can imagine.

I started my path by using my money to lend to others to allow them to shadow their process and learn under their guidance. Now I am running my own deals and got a few listings lined up as an agent. I am a year in, it hasn't all been pretty, and I definitely have less money than I did a year ago, but I have gained a ton of experience and am seeing the fruits of my labor.

Josh Amolsch is the man!!! Nice work!
