I know from experience that finding the right deal takes time and effort but the right tools can help you analyze more deals in the same time, making you more productive.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain. 

This requires some effort and not just relying on a reference from someone or a quick glance at their fees.

Hey @Alecia Loveless I applaud your efforts and think it will pay off!

Now that the property has been renovated, I have recently been applying my efforts toward starting a syndication to scale up to the purchase of larger properties.

She blatantly lied about tenants moving out, only to later admit in an email that there had never been a tenant in the unit at all.Failure to Collect Rent & Protect Owner Interests – She made what seemed to be no real effort to collect rent from tenants who consistently fell behind, leading to thousands in lost income.

For landlords, my best advice is to make the effort to have your units inspected in the hopes that you will find them to be "lead free" and get that certificate. 

When something goes wrong (like HVAC) do they have the money to get up and going again or have you just lost your business and all your effort cohosting a property that isn't well maintained?

You put all efforts and finally the outcome is zero. 

The most valuable lessons are issues that stop you in your tracks and you devote time and effort to solving them.
