You need to take a similar approach focusing on education.

@Bruce NgBruce, the safest approach is to focus your initial loan and inspection on securing the property and addressing major structural issues like the roof leak and settling wall, then handle cosmetic or layout changes later.

A strong digital presence is becoming one of the most underrated advantages in real estate.Most wholesalers, agents, and small teams lose opportunities not because they’re inexperienced, but because their online presence doesn’t support their workflow.Here are common gaps and the practical fixes:Hard for sellers/buyers to find info about you- Keep a clean landing page with your focus, markets, and contact path.Slow response to messages or inquiries- Automate first replies and set follow-up rules.Profiles across platforms feel inconsistent- Use the same brand identity everywhere.Information is outdated or scattered- Centralize your digital profiles and update them regularly.People show interest but don’t take the next step- Add clear CTAs, booking links, or communication channels.A strong digital presence builds trust before you ever get on the phone.And in a crowded market, trust is the advantage that compounds.

Hi everyone, my name is Henry and I’m a property manager with Evergreen Property Management based in Stockton.I currently manage properties across San Joaquin, Sacramento, Yolo, and Placer counties and am expanding into Stanislaus County and the East Bay (Livermore & Pleasanton)My focus is helping owners improve cash flow through strong tenant screening, clean operations, and stress free management.Looking forward to connecting with local investors, agents, and professionals here on BiggerPockets. 

I started an investment company a couple months ago and we are currently focusing on fixer-uppers.

I will say, being a realtor and focusing on sales is probably what is going to ame you the most money so focus on that.

If so, here's the "prescription": Focus your time to drafting a viable business plan.

Welcome to BiggerPockets — love seeing someone combine community focus with investing.

Nice work lining up the HELOC, that’s the hardest part for a lot of people.Even though you are no longer in WI, you can absolutely keep investing there; you just have to be intentional about (1) how cash moves from the HELOC into the WI LLC/deals, (2) how income is sourced/taxed in WI vs where you live now, and (3) keeping clean books as you scale.A real estate focused CPA can guide you through the best structure so you are not overcomplicating the entity/tax side while you grow.

As we get close to the end of the year, a lot of investors are trying to squeeze in one more deal.What are you all focusing on right now—acquisitions, rehabs, refinancing, or prepping for Q1?
