Other distractions include non income-producing activities - aka any distraction pulling you to do something other than speaking with and following up with people.How can I prepare myself?

Once a year I take out all the credit cards and make a small purchase on each one which I then pay off in full just to make sure they stay activated.

The real trick is making sure you’ve got a handle on who’s active in your target area.

My name is Peter, and I am an investor actively seeking to connect with like-minded individuals and groups in the investment community.

There are some active Jackson locals on here, I'd connect with them and ask them about this property. 

I am really just looking to avoid the worst of the worst areas (anywhere with open air drug markets or active gang warfare / prolific violent crimes).

Did you use AI to generate your posts, you slick dog...Haha, but in all reality AI is useful as a complementary piece for day to day activities.

if you're going to sell it to a buyer who isn't you, say that (and actually have a buyer.)if you're a full time agent though... i'd spend try to spend most or all of your time on on-market activities. 

I have seen quite a bit of activity over the past handful of years.

Active real estate investing doesn’t seem to float my boat.
