Thanks Johnny for the encouraging post! 

I think we also have to separate agents posting on BP and people who pay to get featured as an agent on BP, not that they are much different.In the end, the best agents are the ones who provide the most value to the clients and know the most about their markets.

We often use zoom showings, but they build on that mutual in-person experience.We don't encourage bottom-of-the-barrel neighborhoods, simply because with 60-120 year old properties capex tends to exceeed cash flow over time aka money pit.

And all of that with training wheels, it is very hard to screw it up on a consequential scale.Because it is 2025 and RE is not cheap anymore I will encourage you to also look into building a business on the side.

However, I emphasized the importance of open communication and encouraged them to reach out proactively if they foresee any challenges with future rent payments.

They were lacking in accounting which is why we switched, but I heard since they have gotten better accounting features. 

Zillow also hs a "Make Me Move" feature you can click on to see home owners listing their property in hopes of a good offer.I have also seen peopl reach out tp local AFL Assisted living facilities to talk to the Admin or on boarding nurse to see if ay families or people need to sell their home to cover costs.

I would encourage house hacking, you won't be cash flowing but it helps you save while you get your foot in the door with low DP.

I know the founder and know that they've set out to build a platform that takes the best features of sites like Furnished Finder and Airbnb and leaves out the clunkiness and annoying policies and practices.

I'd love some help additional set of eyes or insight on features and capabilities.
