We are a small mom & pop outfit and in some ways we want it that way. 

There are smaller more mom and pop turnkey outfits who have done a few flips here and there and usually they have horrible marketing and digital footprint.

I talked with the FL admin assistant and she asked the area I was in and also if I preferred male or female (I didn't have a preference, I'm not too masculine to learn from a female expert!

And that would lead to my best suggestion for cutting costs: Let someone else (a mail house or an online outfit like Click2Mail) perform the labor tasks for you.

Sure there are outfits that run for less than 10%, but they make it up elsewhere.

I trade business cards, and talk to as many other investors as possible.They have two sponsors for each meeting, who have booths available - companies like title companies, legal, or Identity theft outfits.

No it was no typo, my triplex is officially a duplex, but the basement of the lower unit where I live has been outfitted as a bachelor pad, so it's got it's own bathroom, small kitchen, stone fireplace, and a nice shiny wood floor.

Even if you do buy from one of these outfits, at least get the opinion of an expert in the local area.

Lo and behold - there was the lady who came in to pay the rent each month, in a sexy outfit strapped to a wheel.

That's when the cycle gets to a nasty point and where crime will certainly increase as well.People are buying safes because they are most likely taking huge amounts of money out of certain banks/investment outfits.
