Currently, I have a weekly check in with my current contractor, but alot of time it is a chasing game.

However, a check of the zoning showed this property was zoned for up to six stories.

I explained the process and how I have 30 days to either send check or itemized letter with deductions.

To avoid pitfalls, research liens, check property conditions, and set a max bid before buying.

Have a way to double checking their information they give you on the application.  

Check our chat messages, should still be there. 

That's why the lady should have had her own representation telling her to check it out.Gino

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

Manage their properties Provide welcome gifts/ goodie bags for their guests before check in Hauling extra supplies/ misc items to return to stores or other properties--Any other ideas that I can pitch to make myself more marketable?

Check the forum for Events & Meetups and see if they have any in your area.
