Yes, the bi-yearly nit picky inspections can drive me crazy, (torn screen , etc) but in the long run it’s worth it.

Once they cut the govt spending that is going to equate to negative job growth most likely for periods of time.

In fact, there may be other home service opportunities with quicker growth potential worth considering.Additionally, be aware that in Texas you’ll need a broker’s license, not just a real estate license, to operate a property management business.

The way I and others have done it is to load into Google Drive, dropbox, etc and post a link.I don't currently use those facilities.

Are you scaling quickly or focusing on steady, long-term growth?

@Joel Lebovits the neighborhoods closer to the downtown area of Canton are more run down, with more vacant/distressed houses.The farther you drive away from downtown the nicer the houses get, in general.

Last night, I heard an inspiring story about a mom who brought her young kids along for a 45-minute drive to tour an investment property.

Discussing mutual learning and growth is always very interesting.

@Anthony DiSanzowhy not stay within driving distance to be hands-on?
