@Jay Hinrichs how is your buddy doing with those? 

Detail out everyone in your phone, linkedin, FB, IG, your BB buddies, your schoolmates, everyone who would potentially do business with you or feed your business. 

My buddy Tom added a tiny house to his property in South Congress.

I'm in the business of real estate, not internet clout, but whatever makes you feel good about yourself buddy!

It offered a unified platform where I could see all my properties' performance at a glance, and it synced smoothly with QuickBooks, which made tax season less of a headache.Just last week, over tacos in Austin, a long time client of mine shared how Juniper Square transformed his portfolio management.Another buddy in Phoenix swears by RealPage.

A buddy of mine managed to get a better deal because the local lender understood the potential of owning adjacent properties.Honestly, the financing world can be a bit of a maze, and it's easy to feel a little lost.Anyway, hope that gives you a few ideas to chew on.

I showed a buddy there the property that I wanted to get and he told me that he was in and that he would partner with me on it.  

I have a close buddy who lives in LA, I would likely trust his judgement if it came down to it - but I would still get to know the area more.I dont think you are ready to invest out of state if you havent invested yet in yours.

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.

I remember when my buddy Mike went through a rough patch..divorce, bad investments, you name it.
