HI @Dallas Hoover

I think the guy/girl you should be looking for is a commercial agent/broker. Easiest way to do so would be to go to the top of this page under AGENTS and then answer the preliminary questions they ask you. Then you'll be connected with 3-5 agents in your area.

Hi @Michael Ewers

I have had a few past clients from Cali call me saying "I sent post cards to home sellers and I have someone who wants to sell, can you help me with pictures and videos" 

I think their method was just mass mail and they got a few hits. Another way is to check out this website. It gives you a list of all the assumable mortgages in your area.  https://assumelist.com/

HI @Eric Andersen

I have had some past clients who now have STR/MTR Airbnb's in Fort Worth. They are strategic on how the list the Airbnb.

I'm fairly certain that FW doesn't allow STR so they have the minimum listing date be 30 days

Love seeing a fellow FW investor on here. 

Best of Luck!

HI @Alexander Dombeck

Welcome to BP!

I would suggest leasing a commercial space for your business first before you go straight to purchasing a space. Doing this will allow you to see if it's even beneficial to have a brick and mortar storefront. And then if it is, great! Look to buy one after that

HI @Rachel Seymour-Newton

I would 100% wait the 8 months a buy a quad plex with only 5% down! Save the cash!

Then after you have a few months under your belt go again and buy a straight 20%-25% investment property
