It's easy to get bogged down by too much software in today's world. 

You need to educate the seller that with the rates so high right now, a reasonable investor can't pay 2022 prices.

Ask yourself if your actions today are getting you any closer to short/mid/long-term goals.

Today, deals are very tight, not much meat one the bone.

Leads that seem dead today might turn into gold tomorrow.

I no longer live there but come back as needed (like later today for my North Shore property).

Turnkey companies usually handle buying and renovating the property, then partner with a local third-party management company to handle day-to-day operations.

If a potential client is using 1031's they will appreciate a realtor they don't have to educate. 

You may end up with a little more vacancy today because you stuck to your guns but if your criteria are solid you will have better overall results in the long run and investing is for the long haul.

I’m educated now, but I had no one in my circle that really knew anything until now.
