But, for instance, I sent them a notice of rent increase effective February 1 and needed them to confirm that they have accepted the new payment terms through our electronic payment system, and even after repeated notices, they are not responding.

I never give the system or the prepped documents. 

I can go way deeper into finding good MTR markets, pursing tenants other than travel nurses, property types, scaling operations through systems (my specialty), renovations, etc but it's much harder to do in a thread.

It was a good learning experience, but it made me realize that staying away from major rehabs (for now) might be the best move until I have a more reliable system in place.That said, having family in the area like your sister and brother-in-law is a huge advantage!

I can see why they price their projects accordingly because their system is designed to help relieve the construction management from the investor.

.- When I called the brokerage admin to let them know I had quit the team and to change my status to solo agent, they said their system shows me as a solo agent and that the TL never submitted paperwork to add me as being part of their team.

I am guessing that the vast majority of homes 10+ years old had some sort of water damage at some point, most had probably several.My own home is only a few years old and we had the washer spring a leak and a few years later the RO system in the kitchen started leaking into the cabinet.Seller disclosures are pretty useless in my opinion.

An audit could be triggered by a number of factors that don't line up when run through the IRS's system, and create an exception.

I spent a decade in advertising, before founding and running a custom wood shop for another decade, so 'm pretty good at the self-promotion.I agree with you that the more gorilla approach would be most effective and that's actually what i've been doing – calling RE agents in my service area with active listings, introducing myself to property managers and leasing agents...To answer your question, I will have to handle the work myself for 6-12 months to build out the SOPs and field service management systems, but I have a lot of relationships for those looking to "do the work".I'll check out the meet up and would love to grab a cup of coffee, I'll shoot you an email.
