Considering paying but there doesn't seem to be any guarantee or data to help me make the decision.

I've found myself more focused, and have come to the realization that while, the vast world of REI and improvement podcasts is a great way to find out what is possible, it does not work well for me to help drill down and take action, especially when this is an industry that literally everything could work.I'm excited to take this new "era" to BP con and use that as another launching point going into the Q4 and Q1, and ensuring I'm saying NO more than I'm saying yes.  

For the first one there is a ton of data available on markets through the BP website that you may want to jump into and analyze.For the second one, $300 would be considered great to one person and a waste of time to others.

This is the best way to ensure that you know exactly what you're purchasing.And most of the time, you can use the findings of that report to reduce the purchase price/get a credit at closing for way more than the ~$400 inspection report.  

But for straightforward setups, you can actually form an LLC directly on the PA Department of State website yourself, and it’s very cost-effective.For larger portfolios or more complex structures, some investors prefer going through a real estate attorney to ensure their LLC is set up to maximize tax benefits and liability protection.

Ask the tenant to come up with a reasonable offer based on the data so you can work together to keep them there.Almost all tenants come in $100-$150 under the market rate.It's a win-win.

This means I will take a significant loss to ensure investors do not lose their initial investment.   

Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.

@Brett Jurgens if data is non-partisan, yes, it could be helpful if one can access it and knows how to interpret it.

That's according to The Business Journals' inaugural hottest housing markets ranking, which is based on third-quarter listing and sales data from Intercontinental Exchange Inc.
