Usually that is the end of the communication unless they show up to the open house or complete an application online.

Early on, I was locked into a competitive mindset, but once I started collaborating—whether with wholesalers bringing me deals or flippers looking for exit strategies—it became a game-changer and ultimately made me more successful.

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

Removing all skills from the equation, if you don't take a break from participating as a real estate investor in some way each day, you will stay far ahead of everyone else who keeps subbing themselves out and then asking to get back in when the game is already out of reach.

Finding them online and completing an application so they can atleast do an initial underwriting will work.here is min. someone will want to see:2.

Because investing in NY real estate is a whole different game with taxes, regulations, and all that fun stuff.

Call a different number you found online associated with the same company, etc. 

The fact that you evaluated whether to sell or do a cash-out refi shows you’re playing a long game and keeping your options open.

Also just look online and steal some ideas...I used to Google Luxury Kitchens and then figure out how to do the same for less $$.You'll be fine with your experience.

If you have any questions I am happy to help answer on-line or off-line, don't hesitate to reach out.
