As a contractor I had to work for money, be at the mercy of the customer, jobs and timelines never seemed to go as planned, only to pay tax on the money I worked for.

For sure AI follow up, re-engagement, and appointment setting is a huge trend coming into the real estate industry across the board. 

HOWEVER, this is a VERY expensive way to acquire property and can backfire if the new appraisal doesn't come in where you need.

Many people end up making a grouping election to treat all rentals as one activity so that as a REP they don't have to meet MP in each property independently; this can also impact the treatment of those former PALs and how they apply, and what will free them up.  

I don't see any sense of urgency from you, so no one adjudicating this case would either, or end up taking any action!

@John BrennanWith an IRA, there is a key factor to consider when it comes to self-storage. 

Welcome to BP @Carl Conley :)If you are already familiar with the construction side of things, real estate investment might seem easier for you :)Start with the BP podcast sessions, I learned lot from those sessions when I got started.

Hey @Buck Dabill, let's back up a second.

There are meet ups all over the country; i'd recommend a google search of your area to see what pops up. i'd also suggest joining local facebook groups for your area / surrounding areas and ask there.I tend to agree with Stuart here; your first deal should be your own capital here and serve as a proof of concept you can use as an example in moving forward to try and garner money from investors for future deals.Other than bringing a deal to an experienced investor it's unlikely they will want to give capital to someone who hasn't pulled the trigger before.

Sounds like a mix of opportunities provided you fix it up better than "poor" condition.
