@Bill J Fay I had both thoughts that's why I was looking for some coaching. I'm so very excited to get started and I want to make the best decisions.

Hi, I am working on my first flip and have started bringing in GCs for estimates. Since I know a lot of individual contractors, would you recommend speaking with electricians, plumbers etc to cut out the middle man and engage them in the project or would you suggest that I work with a GC and let him pull his team together?

Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated.  FYI, project is in North Jersey

I received and sent you a note. I could totally help you with that should your agent want to let it go since it's not in her wheelhouse and out of her area of coverage. Let's chat!!

Congratulations and welcome to BP!!  This is a great place to get coaching, bounce ideas off of others and to learn how to progress. I'm a realtor in Northern NJ and can answer any questions that you may have.

Insurance agents and an investor friendly Title company are also part of your team of professionals that you will need.

Feel free to reach out if I can be of any help to you.

@Yangyang Jin Where is your property located? Depending on where, I might be able to give you better insights as to how showings should be progressing.

To answer your questions, we, as realtors, do not get to limit where our listings are getting syndicated to. There is however, some places that you need to list it separately in order to get traffic there as well.

I do not agree with filling out paperwork prior to touring a unit. There are several ways in which landlords want their perspective tenants apply for a rental and it doesn't make sense to go through the application process prior to seeing a property. Plus, there's a ton of scammers out there that ask the same of renters, so I advise anyone that calls me to avoid filling out anything prior to actually touring.

You can very easily vet everyone over the phone, which is what I do with everyone that calls me prior to scheduling a tour. 

You may want to look for someone else to list your rentals. Depending on where it is, I may be able to help and if can't personally, I can probably refer you to someone who can.

It takes all kinds! Unbelievable!! Do you actually work in the city? Would love to have a chat with you about what you do outside of being a "realtor" and how you incorporate investing with your business.

@svitlananisk  I was participating in another free course on fb. It was a husband and wife team out of PA. I called some of the people that she showcased as having used her program and were very successful, only to find out that the person/people never used her course.

Shady is the word that comes to mind.

My company uses National Tenant Screening Network (NTN) It checks everything including prior eviction cases or any landlord/tenant court descrepencies.
