Hey Everyone, so I have spoken to quite a few people in the group in messaging. I have found there is a lot of people in the Los Angeles area looking to connect. I would take this opportunity to say that you are in that area right HERE and whoever is brave enough to post, will start the feed. I think this a great opportunity to network without evening having to leave your home. I think collaboration is key and you can get a whole lot more accomplished as a team versus alone. You can all come together on our coffee hour HERE in the community on Saturday morning for free or share each others contact information and use a chat app like what’s up or something and connect. Don’t lose this opportunity. The only thing I advise is if you do decide to work together, establish your roles and get it in a contract of some sort. At the bare minimum at least you can share resources or create a support group. Hope you Southern California members see this. Good luck and cheers to your future success. 🍻

What is PropStream? PropStream is a real estate data and lead-generation platform. It aggregates nationwide property data (both on-market and off-market), and gives tools for: - Property search & filtering (160+ million properties) (PropStream) - Comparable sales (“comps”) and market analysis tools (PropStream) - Lead lists & lead generation (off-market leads, distressed properties, pre-foreclosure, absentee owners, etc.) (PropStream) - Skip tracing (finding contact info for property owners) (PropStream) - Marketing tools: postcards, emails, landing pages etc. (PropStream) - Additional tools like rehab/ADU calculators, demographic data, etc. (PropStream) - Lead Automator (automated monitoring of property lists, alerts, etc.) (PropStream) They also offer training: webinars, Academy courses, support resources. (RISMedia) Key Benefits & Value Here’s what you get by subscribing; what makes PropStream valuable: 1. Access to Huge Data Pool 2. Targeted Lead Generation 3. Off-Market Opportunities 4. Marketing & Outreach Tools Integrated 5. Efficiency / Automation 6. Decision Support 7. Training and Support Limitations & Things to Watch Out For To be fair, it’s not perfect. Depending on your use-case, some of these might matter more than others. - CostThe subscription isn’t cheap, especially for higher-tiers or when you want large numbers of “saves/exports” or skip tracing. If you’re only doing a few deals per year, the cost may outweigh the extra deals you get. (PropStream) - Data Accuracy Varies by MarketPublic records / MLS data can lag or be incomplete, especially in regions/counties with less digitization. Contact info may be outdated. So there’s always some risk / validation work. (Real Estate Skills) - Learning CurveBecause it has lots of features and filters, setting it up effectively can take time. If you don’t put in the effort, you may not get full value. (Leni) - Cost of Marketing / Outreach Still RealEven with skip tracing, postcards, etc., you’ll still invest time and money to follow up leads. PropStream gives the tools, but converting leads is another step. - Competition / SaturationOther investors may also use the same data sources. So just having data doesn’t guarantee deals. How you act on that data matters. - Some plans include free skip tracing; some require add-ons. (PropStream) - Free trial (7 days) with some free leads (~50). (PropStream)

One of the biggest mistakes I see new wholesalers make is trying to do everything themselves. The truth is: wholesaling is a team sport. Here’s how the best companies build their teams and the type of people who thrive in each role: 1️⃣ Acquisitions Manager → The deal maker. Loves sales, thrives on energy, builds quick rapport, and closes sellers with confidence. 2️⃣ Dispositions Manager → The connector. They shine when networking with buyers, love follow-up, and can move deals fast. 3️⃣ Lead Manager → The gatekeeper. Organized and consistent, they filter out tire-kickers and pass only serious leads to acquisitions. 4️⃣ Marketing Specialist → The creative scientist. Part marketer, part analyst. Loves testing, tracking KPIs, and scaling campaigns. 5️⃣ Transaction Coordinator → The finisher. Obsessed with details, contracts, and making sure every deal actually closes. 6️⃣ Virtual Assistants (VAs) → The support crew. Handle the repetitive but essential tasks that free up your closers to close. 7️⃣ Operations Manager / Integrator → The vision implementer. Takes the chaos of entrepreneurship and turns it into systems, SOPs, and smooth operations. 👉 The magic happens when you put the right person in the right seat. 🔥 Pro tip: If you’re naturally a “closer,” don’t force yourself to be the “detail tracker.” Build around your strengths and hire for your weaknesses.
