Lol, that ding dong Pace reached out to me one time to do some video content together...

Read books, watch YouTube videos, go to the Home Depot 'How-To' classes, even get a part time job working for a GC.If you're going to be in the flip side of RE, you need to have the knowledge....that's where most people fail.

I would have paid another experienced local investor (an unbiased party not having anything to do with the sale of the home or selling me services) to do a thorough video tour of every inch of the house before submitting an offer. 

GAAP accounting, reporting to the Federal Government every month, and a business mind says: take the loss this quarter while we have income to offset.Account Closed foreclosure where borrower doesn't file BK or lie and change the title or other postponement ....s costs about $55000 today as digital processes and video hearings save time and money.There are better tools today.

I have seen Alex's videos.

I think a step-by-step video for beginners would be useful so that they know how to interpret all the data they put out and why each piece of information is important and useful.

These programs aren't a cheap buy-in, we hate to make the wrong decision but we're also tired of watching YouTube videos that make it all look so easy.

Video tours and photos look very different from seeing the properties and areas in person. 

Watching BP videos, reading, studying, we need a better plan.

Your Network = Your Net-worth"Been watching Evernest's video's and they share a ton on "everything and anything" property management related so that's been a blessing.Biggest take away when it comes to scaling a PM is to spread the word about what you're looking at doing and to build relationships.Local real estate events, NARPM, IMN, etc...You want everyone to think of you if they are looking at selling or if they know of anyone looking at selling.I use to be "loud and proud" and a huge extrovert but I guess "old age" has got me hahaI prefer drinking coffee and smoking a cigar behind closed doors.But, I guess I'll have to start "shaking hands" and "kissing babies" like a president when it comes to networking again lolMaybe even do a few video's while not wearing any pants heheBig hat's down to Matthew Whitaker for scaling the business so much.I remember spending some time together in Birmingham when he had a decent sized operation of around 1,200 units or so.Now they are 16,000+ 👏HUGE...We initially met as I was interested in selling our property management company in Toledo and now we are looking at acquiring others heheTime flies, things change and life is funny.Thanks everyone for your contribution and wishing you much success
