I am a co-host in Dallas and Waco, TX and I have an idea of what types of owners and properties I want in my co-host portfolio----and with each client/property I learn which qualities are working for my business setup or what qualities I need to be working on to upskill.

College isn’t a must for real estate, but it can definitely help with things like business, marketing, and communication skills.

I define small business owners as people who employ w2 employees.

Friendship and business don’t always mix well, so it’s critical to use a solid lease and treat this as a business arrangement.

The policy was $2200/year ($1.1M Bldg coverage and $1M Business liability coverage in this apartment LLC) and I haven't had a single claim in my past 5 year history.

Those things won't matter if your business crushes it.

Quote from @John Lasher: I've heard from so many investors that they have put a pause on their flipping business.

It's not a sound way of doing business, especially if you hire some random VA to call for you in an area they know nothing about.Agents should always be building their sphere and creating warm inbound marketing from social media, events, and meetups instead of doing spray and pray.

The other is a smaller operation which does a lot of business in the specific neighborhood the house is in.

So, get busy on your listings.
