Sounds like you learned some important lessons that I'm sure will bring you success and some efficiencies on your next one. 

In an effort to be efficient and not use a shutgun approach, what are your favorite ways of locating and networking with individuals interested in, and capable of partnering or investing in my deals?

After the inspection report came back, the house will need the following work (and this comes directly from the inspector): 1-The two oil-fired boilers must be professionally evaluated and serviced by a licensed HVAC technician to determine the life expectancy and the evaluation of the firebox as well as its efficiency.2-The asbestos in the basement must be professionally encapsulated or removed.3-Need to have a licensed plumber REPLACE the corroding electric water heater for the rear unit.4-All items listed in #8 that are asked to be replaced, should be professionally replaced or given appropriate credit for replacing by new owners.5-Need to have a licensed electrician examine, address and replace all wiring throughout the house and garage.

It's an efficient system as long as you have a stable tenant base. 

I am all about efficiency and time blocking, and this "running around" was detrimental to my productivity.

This is a modern , efficient and green way to bring in great cash flow.

What channels are most efficient for getting a decent deal-flow on these deals?

Hello All,

I currently have a good job with very little expenses. I’ve saved about 50k and ready to invest into real estate. Was thinking about taking the follow paths but unsure what to chose.

1. Use the whole 50k ...

I get calls all of the time from agents who have buyers that want to "Just measure the curtains" or "Wanted to see the Basement again to see if a pool table will fit" or "want to count how many energy efficient light bulbs they need to buy" or "To see if their camper will fit in the garage"The answer is always the same "I'm sorry we are unable to accommodate that request due to everything going on at this time".

I'm beginning to think that this plan is not the most efficient way to become an investor.I would love to get some advice from someone in this field.
