I am the owner of DealMachine and take personal responsibility for making sure we communicate clearly and have issued a refund to you (the initial charge was April 2023 and it is 2025 now... sorry it took so long to see this).Direct mail is a hard cost, so when you send out direct mail, you get the first 20 free during the free trial. 

If you sell directly to a homeowner, the issue can come back on you and bite you in the a...  

So, communication and assignment issues, as well as not being able to explain the maintenance issues and the required work.3) Proper documentation and quality of work issues.

@Clark Harbaugh, Given the favorable tax rulings over the last few years (in particular revolving around trusts and their equaling a beneficial interest in the underlining propery) the IRS has actually been much more lenient (or at least silent) on these issues. 

The problems you mention are just known issues.

It’s a smart move, especially since it ties in with your goal of saving for your first investment.For skills, you probably already have a good foundation with your sales experience—things like communication, organization, and dealing with clients are all super valuable.

There's a very good chance the issue(s) you face have already been discussed and answered.Ask questions in the appropriate forum.

We have had a pipe burst during the cold winter months, the roof needed to be replaced (thankfully covered by our insurance), and some issues with electrical, which hasn't been majorly updated since it was built in 1973. 

It also allows you to manage paperwork and document communications with Tenants.
