The key is what relationships do you have and how do you operate your business to give you some type of competitive advantage?

Great conversation — building a solid cash buyer network can definitely be one of the harder steps in the beginning.Many investors I connect with in the DFW area use a combination of public records, local networking, and relationships with active flippers or agents who deal with distressed properties.I also work with a verified group of active cash buyers in DFW, and I always like connecting with wholesalers who are focused on long-term relationships rather than mass blasting deals.

Looking to build a long term relationship to work with as I build my portfolio.  

They can also leverage personal relationships and experience to get a deal done.In my very biased opinion, the team at Loanbidz is great at finding the right fit and overcoming issues to get a deal done.Great question though and certainly an important one as we get into 2026 and hopefully an active spring for everyone!

Henry makes an important point about the value of strong construction lender relationships.

I’m looking to build genuine relationships with lenders and flippers — people who don’t mind sharing a little guidance or insight.

Quote from @Genesis Carrasco: Abel, really appreciate your insight especially coming from someone who has contributed so much to this community.I’m at the beginning of my journey as a loan officer, and honestly, I couldn’t imagine building any long term relationship without honesty at the center.

Lenders usually require 20 to 25 % down and clean financial records, which also simplify tax reporting.This post does not create a CPA-client relationship.

It would be great to make long-term relationships with a lender who is interested in repeat project funding and paybacks.

Looking forward to meeting a lot of new people and building new relationships!
