I knew I was good with numbers so I'm constantly underwriting deals and I also worked in sales for a long time so building relationships is something I do as well. 

As a REAL-LIFE Pro who does term sales all the flippin time AND sources off-market deals constantly, HERE IS THE REALITY OF THEM;    There is significant learning curve in discussing this with virtually any/all sellers.

We also see the struggles you face:Disgruntled customers due to communication breakdowns and scheduling mishaps.Frustrated employees missing deadlines because of complex systems.Recurring service issues stemming from a lack of standardized procedures.Unhappy technicians dealing with unclear pay structures and disputes.The constant threat of legal and financial trouble from non-compliance.You wear many hats, and there just aren't enough hours in the day.

Have a few turnkey BnB properties I'm evaluating but not sure how to assess flowing revenue streams.

Adjust price but not the criteria mid stream.

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

We can screen the clients and we also have a constant flow of rental leads.

Im just a small time guy, but I wanted to make REI a sustainable business, not an investment that constantly draws outside income.

Contrast that with what happened after I subscribed to IL: I was flooded with a constant flow of emails trying to sell me something.What they mightn't tell you in the articles is the commissions they might get from the developers/sponsors of the deals they advertise.

2) Agent calls about fixer-uppers BEFORE they hit the market.Challenge will be getting them at the right price, w/o insulting the agent.If you have the time or funds to hire someone to do it for you, suggest you setup Constant Contact or similar program to send monthly reminders to agents about:1) Your repair services that save deals2) Post 1-3 success stories with quotes from agents you helped - because they all know each other3) That you are looking for fixer-uppers, with some loose buy-box parameters (don't be too restrictive or you won't get deal exposure)You can then add every agent you encounter.It will take 3-6 months, but will eventually snowball if you do good work.
