I own 5 properties two of them being multi family properties so 7 doors. 

I usually spend my time, if the seller is present, keeping him/her out of the way if needed, pumping tenants for info, taking measurements for room sizes and drawing floor plans with doors and windows and noting appliances and taking pictures.We look for value add properties that are in decent structural and mechanical condition (except for one deal that we got really cheap).

They probably also sell your data for income to stay in business.If you want something better, you'll probably have to pay a monthly subscription fee.How many doors do you have?

Get your foot in the door and aim for a break even (if it means you can get started). 

Is the walkout directly to the backyard or up out of a Bilco door?

If you learn how much everything really costs to repair, you will have a line out the door of buyers.The second part would be to be right on the money on a real ARV.

If not then where do we start to get our foot in the door. 

Peer pressure works so much better than anything that I could/would do or say to them.

Take my office for example, we have over 1,400 doors under management in just my office alone.

Um I really want to just get in the door.
