@Jon Olson, your title caught my eye every quickly when I saw it,  as I am typing this myself, my wife and my brother just closed on a 3 unit rental today. 

Property Management companies are reviewed by tenants and landlords there and that can open your eyes to many of the potential issues they create in their business.  

Joe   am  always  looking for eyes on the ground feel free to contact me

I've had my eye on Dallas for a while but I'm  concerned with finding deals that far away.

While this doesn't mean that you shouldn't keep your eye out for other deals that are on the website, preparing for future deals puts you ahead of the curve from the untrained bidder.

Also - " Smile , Keep Eye Contact, (no sun glasses), keep your hands and arms open, turn a quarter or half turn so your back is to the front door as it opens, (Smile and stretch your arms out open in your car just before you knock), stay positive, always be closing for appointment, set appointment for future date, get phone # and cell #, bring paperwork to appointment, ask questions as to what is the most important issue with selling this home, craft your pitch around this answer, close deal, repeat process for next deal "Door Knocking in a nut shell ...You will strike out say 9 out 10 times, so what?! 

I too have been asked to do a Pod cast on BP  and many members have requested it.. the owners of the site require skype and I don't know that one.. and a eye ball thing.. and some other computer junk.I was going to fly up to Brandons home and do it in his studio.. but he had a baby this spring so I thought I would do it later in the fall or next spring ..

We are pretty active and would love to chat always looking for eyes on the ground

Multifamily buy and hold properties seem to be what I have my eyes on currently.

Go find someone else you likes to pour baby shampoo in monkey's and rabbit's eyes to lease your house.
