Kept those agents motivated to answer the friggin phone

Since costs of living depend on the area of the country, this will also influence hourly rates.Again though, Google AI can provide answers!

Multiple people had some bad things to say about the area, but when I moved and realized that it was a low income area with a lot of homeowners, I was motivated to improve the property to match the effort my neighbors have put in. 

@Stephen Meyer How motivated are you to get this going?

However there can be no motive of lessening a tax burden. 

This works best when the seller is motivated and open to flexible terms.4.BRRRR Strategy (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat)– If you find the right undervalued property, you can finance the rehab with short-term funding and then refinance into a long-term loan, pulling most or all of your money back out.5.House Hacking– If you’re open to living in your investment, you can use an FHA loan (as low as 3.5% down)to buy a multi-unit, live in one unit, and rent out the others.

That means 500 calls a day finding motivated discount sellers.Probably other positions too, but that's a start.Are you getting any good finds on the house hack? 

They can include foreclosures, short sales, or properties owned by motivated sellers.

Again, free, it advances the title company.Another freebie professional would be a CPA, another phone call, they are willing to meet groups with potential clients.Another, call an insurance broker who provides property, liability and professional liability insurance, they are motivated just as the CPA and attorney.Find an owner of a real estate school for agents!

I have flipped new homes and townhomes but phased out raising a family and now am focused on utilizing my skills which are building, selling, expanding a circle of influence to focus my effort on the above.
