It’s much easier than you suspect.
You don’t need to find lots of real estate agents to work with. You just need one.
Find an agent who’s eager to get in there and mix it up and let them do the song and dance whenever you come up against a listed property. Of course, if you’re just out there with smoke and mirrors, the agent probably won’t stick around long, but if you have a good plan and can get things closed, (meaning he’ll get paid), you can bet he’ll be happy to work with you.
You just need to make sure you’re able to close when the time comes.
Why not do some homework and find a few hard money lenders who will lend on the equity in the property and not against your credit/income/etc. In spite of what you might believe, there are some out there. Ask around, you might be surprised. After you find one, get a pre-approval letter from them.
