Design and photography are like the front end to attract guests — and they often get overlooked and minimized (oh you can design it yourself, who cares).You cannot design your property the way you like and want — you need to design with guest in mind and go from there: WHY ARE THEY THERE, WHERE ARE THEY GOING, WHO ARE THEY AND WHAT WOULD MAKE THEM FEEL COMFORTABLE, HAPPY, RELAXED IN YOUR SPACE —— while having fun!

If the rent is close to market, then it will attract investor agents. 

If you are not getting showings, you are not attractive.

Give yourself a 12‑week sprint: analyze 10 deals a week, attend one meetup, and post a weekly progress update to build accountability and attract mentors.

Quote from @Dawn Hryshko: Here’s how to start attracting private lenders for your deals:- Build trust. 

They tend to attract longer-term tenants—often families—who stay for stability, school districts, or neighborhood consistency.

You can still find single-family homes or small multis in the $120–180K range that hit the 1% rule and cash flow from day one, which makes it really attractive for both local and out-of-state investors.

That’ll help you stay competitive and attract qualified tenants faster.Also, make sure you’re very clear about your rental requirements in your listing — things like minimum income, credit score, move-in date, and pet policy.

On the ops side, analyze 10 deals a week, make 2–3 offers, and post a weekly progress update to attract mentors.

What I would say though, is that the learning and the connections you are seeking are a byproduct of having a system that attracts capital partners and the right team.May I ask: what's one part of your current "process" for that SC deal that feels more like guessing than a confident step?
