I think it depends on what type if investor you want to be. if you enjoy wholesaling I would continue to do that and build more reserves. BP has some really good podcast about how much money to put into marketing which runs around 1,500 to 1,800 a month for consistent deals.

Could you do seller financing? if not a hard money might not be a bad idea then re-financing out of it later.

I would suggest setting up a CRM system or another way to remember to contact them. They may not want to sell but something can happen down the road that could change that. and because they own the property free and clear its always going to be an attractive prospect, and because of that somebody else is going to be marketing to them, so you want to make sure its your information they reach for when they are ready.

Tip: (If you have the money and if it could be a really good paying deal) find a passion of theirs i.e baseball a hobby whatever and when you send marketing to them add something to do with their hobby or passion that they can keep and remember you by.  

This is kind of hard just because its so personal I would imagine is would be difficult to change how you have sex like being loud or the frequency. I would try to approach her and make a friendly request  she might be embarrassed by the fact that you can hear her. Then if it continues document noise problems, then follow up with a request in writing. Also check you city's noise ordinance look for a clause that’s called something like “violating laws or causing disturbances.”

 Not  to be insensitive, but if she turns out to be a great tenant when it comes to paying on time and cleanness I would suggest getting ear muffs changing your bed room to not being close to her.

Hello, BP

This is Capt. Jack Sparrow. I'm curious to know when doing a rehab where the previous owner or ternate has left behind things that could be repurposed such as a vacuum or yard equipment, do you guys find uses for it or just trash it? I'm hoping one day to find a 67 Chevy or diamonds in a safe!!

I have a question regarding how you guys manage your contractors. For instance how you schedule payments and what you use to track progress? Also how do you manage when they go over budget due to their mistake such poor time or recourse management?
