It took setting up regular meetings with the PM (most people at the company, including the CEO have the option to book something on their calendar from a link in their email signature).  

I will look on the regular local markets to get rent information.

On a regular basis I call/text/email an agent to ask pertinent questions to make an offer and never get any response even after multiple attempts. 

Flipping is not a great option right now if you aren't experienced because regular home buyers are buying a lot of the dumps and overpaying, spinning the market for trash homes up too high to make any money flipping.

They recently cleaned house of a lot of the corrupt people and for now the wait times are worse than before.I had one project in a historic district- remember that the historic district department has a different intake deadline than the regular permit department.  

I know the interest they get is taxable I would probably have to set up a LLC with them being equal partners.

DTI had become my hurdle, making regular plain vanilla mortgages difficult.

As far as saturation goes when the boom was hitting we started seeing regular homes and even mobile homes get converted to “cabin/chalet” rentals.  

Kudos to your regular buyer agent for "stepping aside" and staying out of a transaction where he/she might not be needed. 

One reason they should be able to do that is literally because they manage a lot of properties and can toss contractors business on a regular basis.
