I'm always interested in connecting with good people working on interesting opportunities. If you're a deal sourcer, business owner, or founder building something with potential, feel free to reach out. I enjoy learning about what people are working on and having genuine conversations that could potentially lead to the right opportunities. Always happy to connect and expand my network.

God first, then the work. Most of you know me from around the group — I help moderate here and I'm building out the Deal Desk — but here's what the work actually looked like this week on my end in Fresno. I took a list of 31 properties I've been tracking and ran it like a real pipeline. Every property got numbers: ARV, repairs, max offer. Most of them got killed. One I'd ranked at the top got cut the same day the parcel records showed the equity wasn't there. A few addresses I'd saved turned out to be phantom pins — no real parcel at all. Verify the property exists before you fall in love with it. What survived is moving. First texts out to sellers. Conversations open with land buyers and a builder for the lot side. And today, first contact on the strongest property on the list — absentee-owned, held in a trust, tenant in place, real equity. I'm not waiting on anybody to hand me momentum. The hustle is the resume. I'll keep posting the steps as they happen — to stay accountable, and because I know somebody in here is on the sideline waiting for a sign. This is the sign: run your numbers, kill your darlings, make the contact. If you're an active buyer in Fresno/Clovis, or you're working deals and want to compare notes or JV on something that pencils — let's connect. Let's close some deals together this quarter. 🙏🏾 — La'Moure

I highly recommend attending. Devon is an excellent presenter, in this community, and has access to a lot of vendors. I want to attend this one as they break down how we as wholesalers or deal finders can partner.

I'm Hakan Mikado, a US-based investor. I'm here to connect with like-minded investors, entrepreneurs, business owners, and property professionals. I'm particularly interested in discovering promising businesses, exploring property opportunities, and connecting with founders and established businesses looking for capital to grow. I believe good relationships and meaningful conversations often lead to great opportunities, so I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone, sharing insights, and seeing what we can build together.

@Kaylene Frost Are there any updates to the insider connections? I have peoples business contacts if you want to add them in there. Thanks. -A.J. (Moderator)
