I have a proven track record of being able to identify a property, make the appropriate repairs, and have an ARV that exceeds the cost of purchase and repair.

Its because there data is at least 2 weeks old, only covers around a third of the leads available from county records and is made available to every subscriber at the same time via the data update they receive from the data brokers and records departments.Keep in mind that any service that is receiving data is at the behest of the provider and this is certainly the ecase with propstream, propwire and most likely batchleads.

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

Look for a team with a strong track record in managing rentals like yours, especially in your target area.

When cycle gets tougher then those marginal agents sales dry up and they go back to that j-o-b especially since they did not save and spent all their money on trips, bigger houses, nicer cars,etc.Good LuckI hope you are one of the few that make it long term. 14 years in the business and still having record sales year after year.The best nugget of info I can give is constantly out learn your competition.

If you have no track record that would probably what you would have to do.

In real estate, I don't change locks, screen tenants, evict tenants, inspect properties, or finance my deals - I have property management, property inspectors, and mortgage lenders that do this for me (outsourcing).

But perhaps you would be better served helping a local experienced investor find deals and ask them to show you exactly how they analyze deals, what's good vs bad, how do they finance (debt vs equity) etc etc and understand their business model that has a proven track record by providing value to them.
