One of them is absolutely crushing it—she’s always hunting for leads, making calls, driving for dollars, and more.

You can see where an over worked, doesn't care, inspector taking 3 weeks to look at basically nothing,  costs serious cash. 

But its also tough, because a 5 or 10 year timespan is basically 100% of your adult life so far, which makes it harder to have this kind of patience.

I enjoy real estate the drive and the rush for me is closing deals finding them and helping others accomplish the same.

Save the money, clean it till it shines, maybe basic improvements like a few new light fixtures or at least matching/bright lightbulbs, maybe a few new faucets, some paint touch ups and sell.If you’re hiring a Realtor®, they can tell you pricing in current condition versus pricing with a few minor changes.

It can be done if you have the energy and drive to push forward.

Visibility drives click ability, and not using the full length of the ad to add keywords and business-related details is a missed opportunity when you’re fighting for every click in Google Ads.Conclusion:If you know you want to get off-market seller leads from Google, and already committed the budget for it, make sure your ads are optimal and that your keyword selection will not cause you to appear on ones that will waste you time and money.The Google Ads landscape is fiercely competitive in today’s market, demanding an investment of several thousand dollars per month to gain meaningful traction.

What mechanism would be driving such "cycles"? 

I am new to Bigger Pockets and this is my first post, so I apologize if these questions may seem very basic to some.

Sharing a cozy moment at Rough Draft in Kingston :) We're planning to drive up and check out a few properties on 10/26-10/27.
