Owning the most amount of properties with fewest amount of your own dollars will lead to the highest creation of wealth.  

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published to 10+ major sites, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening with comprehensive applications which include nationwide criminal background checks + credit checks + eviction history, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

We are already seeing hiring freezes and layoffs, along with job creation metrics that are below expectations.

So, my first advice from wise ppl over here is : Dalla/Houston TX /Atlanta GA which  place is best (as per current suitation 2023 )for buying multifamily, Living in 1 unit renting other units (long term or short term) to cover mortgage as well as for future wealth creation. 

Ryan's example and countless others is why I mainly only take commercial listings.I have a few buyers I work closely with on the commercial side.Investors want to guarantee they get the deal and I want the commission check.Being listed if 10 offers come in and one is selected and closes I get paid.If the buyer has an agent they get paid.The other 9 get to start the process all over again with no money in the pocket.This why I mainly list and market commercial properties instead of running all over creation with buyers.Now if a buyer is honest,buys volume,and wants a deal (but is realistic and not looking for the steal of the century) then they may be worth working with.Whether you are a seasoned investor or a broker/agent who has been in the game for awhile you value maximum returns based on TIME and MONEY.You put in effort to learn how to decrease energy and time in and increase returns.I think it depends also on commercial and residential.I see the mindset of many investors with buying houses that they want agents to work 24/7.I understand because many might work full time jobs and that's the only time they have to do something.On the commercial side I find the mindset is totally different.Business hours and most don't expect to call you after 6 and not usually on the weekends.If a broker/agent works residential then they should expect the hours to be crazy because of the variables involved.
