(Dodd-Frank's overlap with residential is stricter loan requirements). 

The overlapping theme is agents lack the mindset and therefore struggle. 

Perhaps you and I can chat about what you've got going on to see if there is any overlap where we may find it mutually beneficial to work together in some capacity?

I'm still learning how the community works best, but as of now, I am connecting with colleagues because: They are Local - I'm trying to learn from and network with more Greater Cincinnati investorsExperts - They seem to be an expert in some overlapping field where I am trying to learnPossible Partnership - There is a potential partnership that could benefit each of usExperienced - They take time to answer questions, have a significant BP profile status, and demonstrate that they will help where they can. 

It may also be easier that way, merging together my current job in design and marketing with REI, as well as it would allow me to do some overlap in networking.

We have done it with overlap when the units are in good shape but it's nice to have the cushion and do the work without people around.Put in a number for the maintenance anyways and bank it - special assessments or sudden problems are not fun, better to save up for them.Also, just as an aside, tag people in posts you are looking for replies from.

I had a guy that was working for another investor and willing to put in my bids (we have different interests, so no overlap) but his investor now has him attending sales in a different area.In any event, I'm thinking of putting in a few offers on short sales even it they take a long time.

It helps the corporations but it screws the common folk....thats just great.Depending on how long this credit crisis last it may over lap with the doomed Social Security system, that is on overload...soon to break.

Overlap viewings to show the properties value, if possible.

Basically we have a situation where the north side of town has two overlapping MLS systems.
