Specifically, I'm interested in:Essential Skills and Knowledge: What specific skills and knowledge should an agent possess to serve investors effectively?

If so, has this been effective with improving efficiency, tenant satisfaction, and overall business operations?

Of course this may not be cheap, but it’s very effective.

Because when your properties pass to your kin, they get a step-up in basis, effectively making a lifetime worth of gains invisible to the US Government.

I wouldn’t do that on a more public advertising forum, because some idiot will cry discrimination.But it really had no effect.

This is through effective marketing (15+ channels including Airbnb/VRBO/Marriott Homes & Villas/Booking.com/Homes2Go and more, as well as a revenue manager, 24 hour guest communication etc. 

Like @David Ramirez mentioned, inbound marketing is really effective and attracts sellers who are already raising their hand to say "I'm looking to sell". 

We then focused on marketing the property effectively to attract buyers quickly.

The difference in interest due between the qualifying mortgage rate and the introductory rate is effectively rolled into the loan.

After experimenting with data, I achieved a 3.7% response rate from direct mail and am still receiving calls after 8 weeks.I’m not looking to sell anything; I genuinely want to understand more about effective marketing strategies before investing further in data and technology.
