Getting Fair deals on labor and repairs comes from developing win/win relationships with contractors.

Anyone that is looking at your assets is always going to need to factor in property management, so you can show that as a real expense (and really make it as high or low as you want).I work in a vertically integrated real estate and development company, and I cannot imagine how things would run if we did not have an internal property management company that essentially works for the other companies but also stands on its own.

The truly tragic natural disasters in California, North Carolina, Florida and others of the past six months are evidence that no location is truly 'climate safe,' however there are geographical areas that can expect less weather extremes and lower costs of living, developing, insuring and seemingly...surviving. 

Incensed deal flow by developing a large list of contacts of commercial mortgage brokers using LinkedIn.  

Real estate wealth is built through long term price appreciation, property becomes (usually) more valuable over time, especially if purchased in areas that have either gone through development or redevelopment.  

Find out through asking the right questions what will help solve any existing problems, that will give the seller a nice monthly Passive Income Stream, etc. 4.

Like @Kyle Mccaw noted there is significant value in goodwill and I imagine you profited nicely over this pleasant long term relationship.
