Personally, I don't use email that much and neither do most people I've encountered in my niche (mobile homes).

Since you’re learning on the fly, there are many more unexpected items that you have still yet to encounter.

Search the BP for ADU appraisals to encounter numerous examples.

We encounter foundation issues and most of the time they can be addressed at a reasonable price.  

Kind of like pulling up in a car covered in bumper stickers. 

I hope to hear about your success stories and any challenges you've encountered along the way.Thank you!

I'm super curious if anyone else has encountered this issue...We are RE investors in Denver - we've got 3 investment properties (or 5 doors).

Over the last 16+ years of working with investors and property managers, I have encountered only two with this skill.You can identify a tenant segment with a high concentration of reliable people through property manager interviews.

The other is a non-traditional offering (higher risk and ideally higher return that even with some large issues seems likely to hit the high returns and is very frank about the problems they have encountered).  

The issue I often encounter with this line of thinking is that investors frequently fail to consult their lender about what is permissible.
