Has anyone had any success outsourcing cold calling for off-market leads. We are looking to hire someone for this role but haven't had a ton of interest. We also looked at a company based in the Philippines that hires on our behalf but we haven't had much luck there either. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! 

Anyone have suggestions for online business/career coaching? I've tried betterhelp.com but seems to be more focused on the personal side. 

Hi everyone,

I'm starting the process of obtaining my certified contractor's license in the State of Florida and and plan on enrolling in an online study course. Would appreciate suggestions from anyone who has used an online course in the past. Thanks!

 Just curious, how many of section 8 tenants do you have?

A large portion of our rental portfolio consists of low-income tenants, most of which are participants of some sort of subsidized housing program. We constantly struggle with collections. I would really appreciate any ideas for mastering collections in the low-income area. Here are some of the things I am currently trying out to see if our % will increase:

(1) Include disclaimer on three day notice which states copy of notice was sent to housing authority 

(2)  Use a third party system which allows tenants to pay rent at 7-Eleven, Walgreens etc. This includes sending an invoice via snail mail before the first of the month.

(3)  Automated email sent via PropertyWare on the first of month reminding tenants of rent obligation

(4) Have our property manager call delinquent tenants on the first Friday after rent is considered late (payday) in attempt to collect

Any ideas, tips, hints etc. are greatly appreciated. Thanks!
