I’ve been having success with the value-add strategy: finding properties that need work either with physical problems or management problems that I can fix and raise rents to achieve positive cash flow in about a year or two plus capture some equity quickly.

I'm looking to track a lead from capture through to the sales cycle and automate marketing activity (emails, phone call reminders, etc.)

Personally, I prefer to see 1% of ARV, which we were not at on this one, rather were at 0.90%, but close enough given the significant equity capture we had).Scanning the comments, I think someone pointed out: the lower-end markets/houses will have better yields typically. 

I've watched videos like this one: I've also set up our project on a local crowdfunding platform (we're live right now), have been using Social Media marketing to capture leads and doing all of those things.

I have had 4 401k plans in my career and have always had the option of rolling money into a pre tax IRA, so my money has never been captured.  

Practice conversion scripts. so when SELLERS come in, and you know they do, you can capture the lead info and begin working them. 3.

It may be your dentist, your mailman, or the chef at a restaurant.

This was not a cash out refi, but a refi to capture lower interest rate..

So it’s a great value add, especially if you sell or refi and capture it.

That is how I came across BiggerPockets, I instantly was captured about the topic of renting out houses and house hacking.
