Long time no see BP, missed you guys so much I have decided to jump back into the real estate game.

While talking nose around and ask questions about what kind of work they do, but more importantly ask what they DON'T do. 4) You can also try to hire a low to middle demographic starving newer agent to be your rental agent AND handyman.

If you look at real estate investing where your properties exists within a wider community, where rules are made so all can enjoy the area, maybe you'll look more favorably on those hard nose bureaucrats.And then in the neighboring suburban areas, where for years they resisted adding units to SFR which is what these areas are zoned for, they now allow adding mother/daughter units where folks could house aging parents an emerging problem.

I tried it out on my stair nosing and like the way it looks more than the higher priced stock ones.

I wouldn't spend money or travel 200 miles just to stick my nose in a closet without first giving it the chance to go away.

If you are out of the area then I strongly suggest you do some of the intital screening yourself.....some people may turn their noses up at that and say, "I have a PM that's handling that!"............

A bunch of attorneys throw out your flyer, a few call you an amateur while turning up their noses and a few bring you awesome deals and you gain business. 

Have definitely been there myself with the awful smells - gets stuck in your nose for a while, haha! 

Then about 4 minutes into that sobering effect from the finance-nose-candy-party, in came the vodka-days of way WAY low price of entry vs rents in virtually every market.

SW does keep raising prices which is starting to irk me--but definitely jump on an account to get the discounts otherwise you pay through the nose.
