Networking in person is still one of the most effective ways to meet private investors.Online Platforms & Social Media: BiggerPockets itself, LinkedIn, and other investor forums are great for sharing deals and connecting with potential partners.

Hi BiggerPockets community,I recently came across a platform called PropertyARV (www.propertyarv.com) that’s designed to help real estate investors streamline their deals.

It's great to have all your stuff in one platform.

I am surprised there is not an STR specific platform for buying and selling turn key MTR and STR properties.

I’ve spent more than 25 years in sales, finance, and mortgage lending, and over the years I’ve worked with investors, brokers, and lending platforms structuring deals across a wide range of scenarios.Most of my work today revolves around business-purpose lending for real estate investors, including DSCR loans, cash-out refinances, and financing for investors buying properties through LLCs.A lot of the investors I work with are using strategies like:• BRRRR• Long-term rental portfolio building• DSCR loans for scaling rental portfolios• Short-term rental acquisitions• Cash-out refinances to redeploy equity into the next dealWhat I enjoy about the real estate space is that every deal has its own puzzle to solve.

Look for signs of neglect, such as overgrown lawns, peeling paint, or boarded-up windows. 

Hey BiggerPockets community 👋My name’s Hart, and I’ve spent the last 9+ years in parking enforcement working directly with multifamily properties, leasing offices, and property managers.Over the years, I’ve seen something interesting:Parking issues seem small — until they’re not.A simple typo in a plate number…A resident misunderstanding the rules…A guest parking in the wrong spot…Next thing you know, a vehicle gets flagged, a tow happens, and management is stuck dealing with an upset resident and a preventable conflict.It made me realize how much time leasing offices spend managing parking problems that could be avoided with better systems in place.That led me to build ParkVault — a parking management platform focused specifically on multifamily operators.

I am new today platform and I watch you guys on YouTube regularly.

Getting everyone off Zelle and onto an actual platform where it auto reminds them cut my late payments way down.

I didn't buy facility #4 until I had a management platform, an operations manager, and a repeatable process.
