I learned a ton about crappy tenants, unexpected maintenance issues, dealing w/ a regime, etc... 

We use a custom designed system with our CRM that has some automated components are lots of auto populated reminders for our agents.

How to find partners / colleagues / workersBoth are necessary components for investing abroad. 

Scott I believe is a great start as well for it helped me understand the key components and basics of house flipping.

I've seen some junky props that passed S8 in NJ, NY, CT and MA and for sure they weren't fully deleaded.It doesn't need to be brought down to bare wood, there are different techniques for different components.

There has been a relatively recent freon change and the old "R22" freon is extremely expensive (more than 10 times what it used to cost) and most newer units are designed for the new freon and the inside and outside components typically can't be old/new mix.

When we do that, we run into unexpected results that we weren't prepared to deal with.

I am meeting with him Thursday to discuss some more details..Without some main components can I get some thoughts/advice on this deal?

Keep in mind that when container shipping is quoted, it is most often to the "port of entry" and then there may be customs duties, expediter fees, trucking to your site and then you have to figure out how to unload the components from the container in the two hour time window they give you.

@Jose CintronThe rent to own business with Sellers or with tenant buyers take some talent and some knowledgeWholesaling is pretty straightforward as far as finding a motivated seller and finding a cash buyer and putting them togetherIf you're assigning lease options I highly recommend you get an RMLO to prequalify your tenant buyers as per the Dodd Frank and the safe actThis way most of your tenant Buyers will get mortgagesThere's also a component of credit improvement to help increase FICO scores if DTI is OKI know Massachusetts really well I grew up in Arlington@Mike Hurney@Shaun ReillyMike and Shaun are been around the block quite a few timesBeing licensed allows you to show houses and market house you do not own to tenant buyers in MassachusettsOnce  you get caught acting as a real estate agent, you get a fine and you get a record against the department of real estate in MassachusettsThen  it's difficult for you to get a licenseIf you want to buy on subject to or wrap mortgage without a license I think you're in the clear because you're acting as a principal and you're getting on titleIf you just get your license and act as a principal you're fine, and also disclose to the seller that you are licensed but acting as a principalIf you want to be hardheaded and do lease options without license, please don't complain when you can not do business in  Massachusetts or Rhode Island or Connecticut or New Hampshire or Vermont, New Englanders talk to each other
