You may also be able to "make your market" if you can hit a critical mass.

I started my real estate career in 2014 working in marketing at PPR Note Co. with Dave Van Horn.

I'm not super familiar with the real estate market in Couer d'alene like I am with East Idaho or even southern Idaho or the Treasure valley.

I have an investor friend who is a very successful wholesaler in a market, (south FL), that is crawling with wholesalers. 

Our customers are a mix of 1) DIY owner/operators and, 2) investors who use one or many full-service PMs to handle day-to-day operations in their local markets.

You can achieve or even exceed your current cash flow in markets that are more landlord-friendly than Boston.

This allocation should be based on the fair market value of each component, typically determined through an appraisal or the values agreed upon in the purchase agreement.

I have gotten two very good clients that way.. this way I dont spend a dime on marketing they come to me :)

Quote from @Bud Meacham: The market is very competative in California.

I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow?
