Grind it out for 5-10 years like this and you’ll be set for life.

Congrats on getting the property early and for putting in the grind to get the property in a better place. 

I don't know anything about that space, but it sounds like a helluva grind and time-intensive venture.

Amazing what can come of just grinding volume with cold calling Volume + consistency + follow-up = DEALS.Simple really. 100%

Verify credit, employment, etc for you. 6) I would definitely want noise (quiet hours), guests, and treatment of common areas covered. 7) We've used Rent Manager as it focuses more on the financials which I think is super important.

I personally dont do any of that.. every market / or most will have an active fix and flip sector or buy and hold sector the important thing to me is the operator full stop.. great operator will do well in any market and all the national data simply is noise at least at my level. ( loaning our own money and JV deals with our own money)  we dont broker or anything like that.

We're both tired of the W2 grind. 

After some observation, we decided it was just noise - no one was watching it; they were looking at their phones. 

While I use it primarily for noise concerns (it alerts me for sustained +80 decibels), it's also handy for cigarette smoke and tracking temperatures (in addition to our Ecobee thermostat)- sensors on all exterior doors and possibly windows (which you might have via smart locks for the doors)- exterior camsA recent guest for reasons only known to them set the thermostat to cool and 60F in the winter (where it's currently a balmy 11F). 

They’re often motivated to sell before construction begins due to noise, traffic, or potential rezoning.
