These experiences all happened in a single afternoon without even actively trying, which really reinforces what you’re saying about driving around and door knocking.

Good afternoon, I just closed on a multi-family property (4 plex in an older home) . 3 units are rented, 1 is vacant and there is a shared common area for laundry.

- Initial paperwork and chasing overworked caseworkers to process it, so tenant can move in- Helping the tenant complete & turn in their required paperwork to start the lease- Annual S8 inspections, which tenants often make difficult to schedule- Dealing with silly maintenance requests because tenant too lazy to change lightbulbs, etc.- Getting tenants to agree to rent increases and turning in all the required paperwork to caseworker, then, you guessed it, chasing them to process it- Dealing with the tenant's "entitlement attitude" that they don't have to follow the terms of the lease, so they move in other individuals and/or get pets without permission.So, a good PMC will charge something more to manage a S8 tenant/property - either a higher percentage or a one-time or annual fee.

Unfortunately, it seems like you had a lazy/inexperienced listing agent.

They may be lazy or not care because they think no one notices and it ends up getting dealt with.

Understand what retails properties sell, average prices per sq/ft, types of properties investors are looking for, what rents are, what areas sell the best for investors, what to look for to get accurate rehab estimates, more properties you visit and see in-person the better, and most importantly, dont be lazy! 

Inspectors can be lazy louts who are just working toward retirement or they can be so picky they fail rentals for the smallest of issues, including dirty drip pans on the stoves and mildew around the tub. 

Hey @Josh CochranJust this afternoon I had an extensive conversation with Juliann at WWC.

You have an idea from a book that you can be a lazy boy and not have to work for your money, but it takes money to make money And you probably don't have enough money to make that money work for you.

It's lazy how it was presented.I know you read down further, but the point was that every single business coach that has ever existed would have given the advice that I gave without saying the exact same words.
