They devise all sorts of systems or software like "propstream" and they sell you on the idea that it "works based on data".Tell me this.How come you still need to send 3000 - 5000 mailers calls or texts to the "motivated seller leads" probstream is giving you to get ONE louse deal?

if you have limited resources, you need to plan accordingly to your budget.if your budget is Zero, you need to use free marketing methods like calling all FSBO in your area and landlords with houses that are outdatedif your budget is $250 you can use other strategies like skip tracing, driving for dollars, cold calling or door knockingif you have a larger budget you can do Direct mailing campaigns but to hard to find list, where the competition is small Adjust your marketing based on your monthly budget and be consistent for 3 to 6 months to see resultsIf you don't have lots of capital, consistency if the key over time

I do have a friend that has larger homes with 5+ bedrooms and she does well on VRBO and only uses that platform.

Let's say someone was bungee jumping off a balcony railing and the railing broke and they fell, injuring themselves.They could sue the property (ownership LLC) because the railing was "not secure".They could sue the manager (management LLC) for not ensuring the railing was secure.They probably will sue both and let the court sort it out.I don't see how 1% ownership of one LLC to another prevents any of the above from happening.
