I’m an avid reader in real estate financing and investing and am interested in taking some next steps in starting my real estate investment journey.

@Jerry Puckett made a great script for in-taking yellow letter calls.

@Shane Melanson Thank you both for your intake!

Upped my total rent intake by about $1500.mo.   

Looking for a new CRM and want something that's kind of a start to finish product; includes a public facing website (replacing the one I'm paying for through HomeSnap), intakes leads from that site and other sources, sends automated messages and tracks their activity back to your website, along with other CRM functions.

In our area, our animal shelters are severely overpopulated, and the local pound has an intake waiting list of 70+ dogs at any given time.

then I say (and tried different things here) "I wanted to know if you would be interested in taking an offer on 123 Maple st?"

If you're more of an anxious investor/overthinker, I'd say miigating your risks might help you finally dive in - take it slow and maybe start with a smaller rental or simple flip and see how you like it (there's a million articles on BP about how to choose an out of state market if your area is too expense).

This helps with sanitary reasons with shared air (smells, COVID or whatever getting sucked through the intake and blown into other unit)  If you have 2 electric meters and 1 gas meter you could convert one to electric instead of adding another gas meter.For some reason whenever I talk to hvac guys about mini splits they never think it’s a good idea, not sure why I think they sound like a good idea.  

I'd even go so far to hire a engineer or architect to come in, take a look, and put together a report for you before going the route of excavation.
