Quote from @Allison Cutlip: My boyfriend and I are closing on our first property soon which is a duplex where we will be living in one side and renting out the other. 

In just one month, I closed 3 deals, all because I was reaching the right sellers at the right time.Now, I’m curious—how do you handle lead follow-ups?

Generally when sellers say "cash" it really means they do not want to deal with contingencies,  short closing period and/or do not want to deal with needed repairs. 

And I'd acknowledge they're riding the line of what is and what is not acting as a real estate without a license (and doing net sales which are illegal for agents).I think the argument doesn't work because even if you banned wholesaling, people could still do simultaneously closings, which are just about the same, just a little more expensive. 

I’ll be there keeping a very close eyevduring the Reno because i figured as much…who should i steer clear of ?

My recommendation would be somewhere close by so you can manage it yourself.

It’s relatively close to Houston and has strong demand due to Texas A&M, events, and business travel, making it a flexible market for STR and mid-term rentals.If you’re open to exploring other high-performing areas, I’d be happy to share insights and data with you.

The way the numbers shake out, it probably is close to 75/100 or 80/100.

It seems like I would be cutting it close to try to finish, list, and lease it starting March 1? 

I've been investing and hanging out on BP for close to a decade now, so please feel free to reach out with questions.
