It's great to see women are stepping into the real estate ring and doing good things. 

The meter base, cover, and ring belong the the owner of the property.

After a few months of playing phone tag and emailing contracts to someone who didn't want to give me the time day, my phone rings, "she" was finally what we call "motivated to sell"!

This is what I market for is a sale, so with time you will understand better who can who can't sell.Keep it simple, just get the phone to ring, don't sweat the real estate sales police.  

there are a ton of factors and cops ring with single family homes or duplexes is apples and oranges - would be happy to take a look though 

It may be handy to separate business and personal contact info even if you use something like google voice and have it ring your personal cell.A FL expert may chime in here, but some states have security deposit rules, so you may need a separe bank account for those...Good luck!

You can ring peoples doorbell and ask them. 

You need to get you funding letter that says you have the funds to buy, several Realtors will also ring up your lender to find out how strong it is before they accept an offer now its that competitive. 

I'm looking to access some home equity and if someone has done some leg work and is willing to share I'm all ears.  

@earl hoyowardHi EarlI was taught that your personal life should have as little debt as possible and that your businesses should carry the debt because you will be generating revenue to pay the debt.
