@Dan Mahoney- Amazing! Thanks for the break down. And to everyone else- this is all good stuff, team. Cheers!

I'd be happy to talk with you to give you my take on the Temple market.

@Loren Clive. I forget which episode of the podcast they were talking about section 8 on, but they were saying one plus of section 8 was above market rents.

Any idea where the discrepancy might be? Does anyone else have any ideas on that?

(I'll have to do more digging in the forums about this.) Thanks for the heads up!

Any thoughts on the new, expanded MLS?

Being from MD and living in Philadelphia, I'm looking forward to being able to see listings in more places where I have a strong network. 

Post: Electrical Outlet Troubleshooting

I'm going to try again today. Troubleshooting in this order:

1) Pull out oven and fridge to look for more downstream GFCI outlets I may have missed.

2) Check the voltage coming from my hot line to make sure it is 120.

3) Disconnect the upstream outlet and retest the hot line downstream to confirm it is actually downstream and not getting extra voltage from somewhere.

4) Replace the down stream outlet with a regular old outlet.

5) Make sure everything is wired correctly at the devices in question.

6) Admit defeat and call a professional.

Thanks for all your help. This has been an educarion. I'll check in when it's all fixed.

I did not check behind the stove and fridge. Everything else seems to work, so I didn't think to. Good idea.

Perfect!  How do you organize your leads, Brandon?

Team,

What CRM do you use for your business and why did you choose it? Pros/Cons? Would you recommend it? What sort of business do you use it for, and do you think you might choose something else if you had a different business area/model?

It seems like a lot of folks use Podio, but I'm thinking about just making a Google Sheet with contact info and using Evernote to keep notes about meetings for active projects. Simple. Cheap. Do you think I would miss out on something?

I'm mostly using it to track leads in a leasing agent capacity (at this time).

Post: Electrician Referral

I'm looking for an electrician that can diagnose and fix an outlet problem in my kitchen. Should be an hour of work, so I'm looking for someone that does house calls that aren't big projects. I want someone that guarantees their work and who is bonded and insured.

If you are going to tell me about yourself and your own services, please tell me your company name so I can look up reviews of your work. Or let me know where I can find your references. Thanks!

(If all of the above seems like a tall order, I'd be interested in hearing that feedback also.)

Both outlets in the kitchen of one of my rental units stopped working. They are both GFCI outlets, and the one jumps from the other. I can't reset them. There are no other GFCI outlets that I can see that they might be connected to (that might be tripped). The breaker didn't trip.  Also, both outlets tested hot.

I replaced the devices and I can't get the new ones to reset either.

Any advice?
