His take is that the office manager is compensated on overall sales for the office so if you call them and tell them what you want you are more likely to get paired up with a rockstar that in fact does work with investors because it is their best interest to pair people up correctly and grease the skids for more sales.

Hi Kunal,Some combination of your realtor and the other realtor probably picked the settlement services provider(s), which back when you were in CA were called title and escrow (varies by state, no idea what language is used in Chicago).That's who you should yell at if you don't like the amount of the fees.Please note that the lender's title insurance is also often discounted if paired with an owner's title policy.

It's about pairing property, tenant demo and amenities. 

Don't stress about buying status items, you don't need $150 shoes, and if you do, you only get one pair. 

I told my tenant that needed a washer and dryer that if they would move the washer and dryer from house 1 to house 2, they could use the extra pair that was only a year or two old.

Pair it with a good management software, lease creation, etc. you will be off to the races.First step is make your property availble, list it, learn from working with tenants, and get a feel for it. 

We are doing a new subdivision that will be 300+ units consisting of townhomes, single family, and paired patio homes.

Pairing your outreach with some automation that you set up in advance (email drip campaigns or mailers to current property owners for example) are also good things to implement that can streamline your outreach.  

tnxThough we do not work in New York at this time, I would be happy to dive into the deal with you and help connect you with the right program - we are operating in 41 states at this time, and help pair clients with the right program in the handful of states that we do not operate in.If you would like to shoot me an email, I will send you a data tape template to collect the info we need (if you do not have one already).

A pair delivered is $350 and nice enough for my $1k/mo townhomes.I also have a metal hauler I text with the address to pick up the pile.
