Big drivers are the hospital/healthcare presence between Sentara, Eastern Va Medical School, and the children's hospital, also easy commuting to downtown Norfolk for banking and legal, AND you're a stones throw away from the largest college in the area, Old Dominion University.

I don't believe you can throw enough money making leads to a realtor that they actually compensate for running all of your comps.  

In the future with more inventory I'll just put it on one tab with different columns to give it categories and keep it straight, just throw a pivot table/pivot chart over it and you have all the reporting you need. 

If the unit count is wrong, they might let you know so you can adjust your offer rather than just throwing it in the trash.

Watch how fast they start to throw out all this BS. 

So people throw around the word "bubble" because it makes them sound smart.Don't try to predict and anticipate, just react when opportunities arise.People are being greedy in San Diego in RE, you should be fearful. 

I really think they are in the business of ruining landlords so to then make even more money off of their poorly managed properties by selling, but that's just my personal bias hunch.Also, check out my pic of us suited up in this mold infested REO lol :-) (I'm the one throwing up a peace sign).

Hi Amiris,Thanks for your comment.We launched like 2 weeks ago with a half A$$ed website and ZERO marketing and already recruited 7 agents.I have had VC's throwing money at me like crazy but we are looking at bootstrapping for now until we prove the concept and maybe raise money on our terms.Looking at including all of these things in our online platform:Live support, training and “How To” video’s, various marketing templates, a CRM database management software, a DIY social media account set up, a DIY personal website set up, create own Dotloop signature tool, online continual education courses and a full blown real estate library of videos, tips, webinars, courses, etc..I'm super excited about this mate and believe it to be the new revolution of real estate brokerages Thanks again

Just be careful not to throw the baby out with the bath water and rule out good areas.

Did I mention there's a chance that your tenant MAY throw Airbnb guests when there's a one or two week gap between his/her corporate rental turnovers?
