Hi Everyone, I’m a new real estate investor and realtor, living in Jamaica so I joined this community to see if it’s possible to learn from Max and apply this concept to our local market. I’m excited to learn and network!

For anyone in Texas without an address for your business, what did you list as your registered office address? I saw Texas doesn't allow Po Boxes.. I saw PostScanMail has a $10/month subscription that'll provide you with a real street address and automated inbound mail scanning.

Does anyone have cash buyers who invest in tax deed properties? I have 5 tax deed properties that need a full gut rehab but offer equity position & cash flow via section 8 or otherwise !!

I don't know how you learned how to wholesale real estate, but the way I learned is that BEFORE you start talking to any sellers, you had better already have at least twenty or thirty cash buyers on your list; that way you know you can quickly assign anything you put under contract and not leave the seller hanging. So a very common question you're going to see asked in every real estate community online is "how can I find cash buyers for my contract? REAL ones, not people who are fronting?" 😁 There are dozens of ways to do that, but here are five that I use all the time - for FREE. 1) Google "real estate investing association near me" or "REIA meeting near me". You can also search Meetup.com for those two phrases. Then attend the next in-person meeting of the REIA. There are ALWAYS going to be cash buyers there, along with other people who are going to become a part of your team. Almost every meeting there will be a time for networking, and that's when you go up to them and introduce yourself as a new wholesaler and ask them what they are buying and where. 2) Google "investor-friendly title company near me" or "investor-friendly closing lawyer near me". Call each of the results on the first two pages, and ask to speak to their business development manager. Introduce yourself as a new wholesaler in the area, and then ask them if they can give you a list of the top 10 or 20 cash buyers that close at their company. This works even better if you show up to their office in person. You're probably gonna ask "Eddie, why would they give me such information, just like that?" Because they know that the more wholesalers they introduce to those cash buyers, the more of them will use their company for closings, and the more business those cash buyers will do with them, and the more money the escrow company will make. It's a win-win-win for everyone concerned. 3) Google "real estate auction near me", and look for the next in-person auction. Usually that will be at the county courthouse steps. Take note of the people who are bidding, and after the auction is over go up to them and strike up a conversation. The thing about real estate auctions is, if you see someone making bids, then you KNOW they're real cash buyers...because if they win an auction, they have to pay for the property (or at least put down a hefty down payment, depending on how the county conducts their auctions) right then and there with a cashier's check.

Hi! I am attending my first real estate investors expo tomorrow with the intention of connecting with potential buyers & just people in the industry in general. What have you found to be the best method to keep in touch with the connections you make at these events? If none of the options listed, can you add a comment and let me know what worked best for you?
